According to Montreal Public Health, the neighbourhood has recorded 780 cases per 100,000 residents for the last two weeks — the most of any borough or municipality on the island. Hoodstock, a community organization, conducted a series of surveys, reaching close to 5,000 residents who live in apartment buildings with at least six units in the eastern part of the borough. The group says the results show that residents feel they aren t being given the proper help to navigate the pandemic.
