In the fall of 2020, the government of Ontario, Canada, adopted a 5-tier, regional framework of public health measures for the COVID-19 pandemic in its 34 public health regions. The goal of nonpharmaceutical interventions was to suppress transmission by reducing contact rates, which can be indirectly assessed using mobility data. Five of the 6 most populous health regions in Ontario are located in the Greater Toronto Area: Toronto (3.0 million), Peel (1.5 million), York (1.2 million), Durham (0.7 million), and Halton (0.6 million). The urban core of Toronto and Peel is a perpetual hotspot for COVID-19 and remains highly interconnected with the peripheral regions of York, Durham, and Halton.
