Outbreak-associated COVID-19 cases by industry in Ontario

Abstract

The researchers conducted a study of reported COVID-19 workplace outbreaks and associated cases in Ontario between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021 to estimate incidence by industry. Workplace outbreaks were identified through reportable disease data and classified by industry. Industry-specific denominator data for those primarily working outside the home were obtained through the Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey.
