Scarborough neighborhoods like Rouge, Malvern, Woburn and Scarborough Village are C-19 hotspots with cases per 100,000 of population ranging up to 783. The CBC says it’s because many residents are “front line workers” who can’t stay home plus what it calls “multi-generational” homes. This would mean kids living with parents or vice versa. Sadly, the highest rate of infection is currently in Thorncliffe Park, 1,094 to every 100,000 of population. Interactive Map
