Map of Ontario with the study area shown in red.
The first detected case was in Hamilton. Percent of the overall human population accounted for by the study area is highlighted. The base layer for the map was created using Canadian census sub division shapefiles obtained using the canadianmaps R package. The R package uses shapefile data provided by Statistics Canada. https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/geo/sip-pis/boundary-limites/index2021-eng.cfm?year=21. https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/reference/licence.
