Lawrence Heights has flown under the radar throughout this pandemic. But with COVID cases now dangerously out of range with the rest of the city, it needs rapid attention.

(Data: TPH, cases per 100,000 over the past 3 weeks, officially Englemount-Lawrence)
Unlike other hotspots across the city, no pop-up testing site has been set up in Lawrence Heights. In fact, it doesn't sound like community agencies in the area have been informed of the surging statistics.
The lack of attention isn't all that surprising. Since its birth in the late 1950s, Lawrence Heights has been the forgotten and often misunderstood child of Toronto’s housing projects. Our deep dive in early 2020 gives context. https://thelocal.to/issue-4/
