OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 464 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and three more county residents have died this past week.
“Unfortunately, we have lost three more residents to this virus,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “Our condolences go out to their loved ones.”
There were an additional 34 Oswego County residents hospitalized between Sunday, Nov. 21 and Saturday, Nov. 27, according to this week’s hospitalization report. The age distribution of these new patients is: 0% aged 0 to 18 years; 17.65% aged 19 to 45 years; 47.06% aged 46 to 64 years; and 35.29% aged 65 years and above.
“The ongoing spread of the virus puts those who are not vaccinated, or not fully vaccinated, at a higher risk of contracting the disease and developing severe cases,” Huang said. “We all must do our part to protect our families and communities. If you are eligible for the vaccine, please get your shot; and follow safety measures such as wearing a mask in indoor spaces and washing your hands frequently.”
The Oswego County Health Department hosts COVID-19 vaccine clinics from 1 to 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday at the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic, 70 Bunner St., Oswego.
