To date, there have been a total of 825 workplace outbreaks in the province s two biggest COVID-19 hot spots – 423 total workplace outbreaks in Toronto and 402 in neighbouring Peel Region.
Last year, roughly 2,000 people with COVID-19 reported going into work following the onset of their symptoms and at least 80 worked for one or more days after a positive test result, according to Peel s public health unit.
