Downtown Windsor has the highest rate of COVID-19 in the city, yet it s also one of the least vaccinated areas.
And it s not the only city hot spot identified by the province with that same trend: high COVID-19 rates, lower socio-economic status and low vaccination rates.
Windsor s city centre, with postal code N9A, is one of seven other postal code areas the province pinpointed in Windsor-Essex as being the hardest hit by COVID-19. Those hot spots are now being prioritized by the province for vaccinations for people aged 50 and older as the government works to get ahead of the third wave.
