COVID-19 Cases in Toronto
Toronto Public Health (TPH) shared anonymized, person-level information for all COVID-19 cases reported from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020. As case and outbreak management guidelines changed and COVID-19 specific resources were no longer funded, the level of detail available for cases decreased, and more recent data are less complete and not comparable to previous years. TPH discontinued the production of this report with the final refresh as of February 14, 2024
As of February 2023, the fields "currently hospitalized", "currently in ICU" and "currently intubated" have been removed from the Open Data set. Due to current provincial guidelines on COVID-19 case management, discharge information is not always available. This makes it difficult to report accurately on these fields. The time period for the inaccuracy is not known therefore data in these fields from previous downloads of the open data set should be interpreted with caution.
As of July 1, 2023, data entry practices will change to align with updated provincial guidance. TPH will no longer be entering: cases received only by fax and non-severe (not hospitalized or fatal) probable cases associated with outbreaks. This will likely result in an undercount when compared to previous COVID-19 case reporting.
As of November 27, 2023, deaths and hospitalization due to COVID are not being entered into CCM due to operational limitations.
