Santé Index
Toronto scores 52.81 (HIGH risk) as of 2026-08-07 — the second-highest score among all 16 host cities. Two disease signals drive this rating. Measles scores the maximum 100/100, derived from Canada's national outbreak of 944 confirmed cases through Epidemiological Week 16 (PAHO Situation Report 3), with Ontario's share allocated by historical PHAC provincial distribution; estimated provincial incidence is 3.28 cases per 100,000. COVID-19 scores 85/100, reflecting a very high case incidence of 66.15 per 100,000 in the current surveillance window — the highest COVID-19 burden among all host cities. No wastewater-based epidemiology data are available for Canada in this pipeline cycle. Coverage is low (46%), derived from PAHO national proportional estimates, and may underestimate true burden. Toronto is the highest-volume international gateway in this tournament, receiving 37,310 international arrivals this week — the largest of all 16 host cities. MMR vaccination (two doses) should be verified for all attendees and accredited personnel. COVID-19 precautions — including masking in crowded indoor venues — are strongly recommended given the very high case incidence. Public health authorities should be on high alert for both measles importations and respiratory cluster events throughout the tournament.
