Published Friday, May 14, 2021 5:00PM EDT The COVID-19 situation in one of the city s hot spot neighbourhoods is improving as more than half of the adult residents have now had at least one dose of a vaccine. Dr. Jeff Powis, the medical director of Infection Prevention and Control at Michael Garron Hospital, told CP24 Friday afternoon that Thorncliffe Park is seeing real-life benefits of increased vaccination. We track really closely the buildings where we re seeing cases admitted to the hospital and the buildings from Thorncliffe Park used to always be the ones that were always on the top of our list. And the last week when we looked, we didn t have a building in Thorncliffe Park that was in our top 10, Powis said.

Do you live in Ontario? Do you live in one of the province’s newly designated COVID-19 “hot spots?” Are you between the ages of 18 and 49?
Well, good news: you might be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. Or you might not. It’s confusing, because the way it all works is chaotic: Ontario premier Doug Ford makes a big announcement, and the province’s public health units scramble to execute whatever that announcement entails.
