Toronto Public Health declares a COVID-19 outbreak in a workplace when there have been two or more lab-confirmed cases of the virus with an epidemiological link within a 14-day period.
The link could be that infected individuals work in the same area during the same shift or that no confirmed infection source outside of the workplace is evident.
The list of workplace outbreaks is updated every Thursday, and it includes the name of the workplace, the number of COVID-19 cases, and the date the outbreak was declared.
To protect individuals’ privacy, only workplaces with 20 or more employees are publicly named.
