近日，多伦多公共卫生部门TPH发布的小学感染风险排名显示，超过100所本地小学面临高传播风险。这份排名根据每个社区的新冠患病率，低收入人群比例等影响因素为基础进行了分析。数据显示，秋季重开学校后， 大多地区共有80所公立小学和36所天主教小学面临“高传播”风险，这其中大部分小学都位于多伦多的西北地区。
根据市政官方数据，疫情期间，多伦多病毒传播率高的地区，主要是低收入地区。但是多伦多公共卫生局（TPH）数据显示，迄今为止，累计新冠病例最高的社区是Glenfield - Jane Heights ， 数量为524例。相比大多地区病例数量最少的The Danforth，感染人数多了近40倍！
虽然面对秋季开学，多伦多很多地区的家长都考虑让孩子在家上学，避免去学校与人群接触，减少感染风险。但是对于很多低收入家庭来说，缺乏学习空间，在家学习资源匮乏，家长必须上班无法留在家中照看孩子等因素，只能送孩子去学校，别无选择！多伦多和皮尔区的医生Naheed Dosani表示，新冠疫情对于每个社区的影响实际上是“不平等的”，贫困人口和边缘人群更容易遭到病毒的侵蚀。低收入地区的感染率更高，而低收入家庭的孩子返校的数量更大，在秋季上课时的潜在感染风险也就更大。
比如住在Jane & Finch的Belinda Afuda， 她在移民加拿大前是尼日利亚一名精神病医生，决定出国让自己和家人过上更好的生活。但没想到今年碰上了疫情，收入下降，全家靠食物银行过活，自己不得不在上班和在家照顾孩子之间权衡。然而Belinda 只是万千低收入家庭的缩影，虽然多伦多公共卫生官员已经发出警告，但他们在即将到来的几个月内将面临什么样的风险仍然未知。。。Africentric Alternative SchoolAlbion Heights Junior Middle SchoolBala Avenue Community SchoolBeaumonde Heights Junior Middle SchoolBeverley Heights Middle SchoolBlessed Margherita of Citta di Castello Catholic SchoolC.
