Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or other interested party; COVID is likely a factor in your decision whether or not to send your child to child care. Reporting of cases in Ontario's LCCs began in September 2020.
Using Python I will attempt to build some visualizations using this data as the foundation but more specifically for Toronto region.
Please do not accept these visualizations as the final truth, but rather as a tool to aid you in further research, to ultimately make your own informed decision.

- multiple records of same LCC name in Toronto LCC data
- mismatch of LCC name between Ontario COVID LCC data and Toronto LCC data; unfortunately there is no other unique identifier/key
- finding limit of 1000+ locations can be mapped on ArcGIS - need to investigate this further
- work on adding a "slider" that changes the date reported on the map
