In total, Toronto's Waterfront has 269 confirmed cases overall, which is less than some other areas around the city. 

The City Of Toronto

Over the last few weeks, an increasing number of new COVID-19 cases were contracted by people under the age of 40.

Those living in the Waterfront community between the ages of 25 and 54 make up over 60% of the neighbourhood's population, according to City data. 

Recently, Doug Ford has slashed gathering sizes in Toronto in an attempt to stop large gatherings that contribute to the spread of COVID-19. 

On Thursday it was announced that the city's gathering limit would be just 10 people indoors and 25 outdoors.

"We can't afford to let a few rule-breakers reverse all the hard work the people of Ontario have made the past few months. It's just not fair," Ford stated. 

As the number of cases across the province continues to rise, John Tory is even urging residents to not get married at this time.
