I’m calling on Doug Ford to immediately deploy additional resources to #COVID19 hotspots – from testing and contract tracing resources to personal protective equipment and financial supports. 1/
Thanks to a map from the City of Toronto, it’s more obvious than ever that COVID-19 hot spots are concentrated in communities that are low-income and predominantly racialized. 2/
In north Etobicoke and Scarborough, Black and racialized Ontarians — many of whom work in low-wage and high-exposure jobs as personal support workers or grocery store workers — have been left more exposed to COVID-19 transmission. 3/
These Ontarians need more direct financial support from the province. The hardest-hit communities haven’t had enough resources sent in to help put out the fires and that needs to change now. 4/
It’s shameful that Ford has been resistant to mandating the collection and sharing of race-based and socio-economic COVID-19 data, but he can no longer ignore this information. This is urgent and lives are at stake. 5/ #covid19 #covid19Ontario
