OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m. today, there have been no additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday. The cumulative reported number is still 62 cases across the county and of those, 51 have recovered and three have died.
Oswego County:[1] (as of 3 p.m.) Note, the total number of positive cases is cumulative and the number of recoveries and deaths are of those numbers.
All known contacts of COVID-19 positive patients are being notified. In the event that a known case had public exposure when they were contagious, such as someone who worked in a restaurant, the county health department would alert citizens through the news media and social media.
Areas With Cases (alphabetical order): Note, no new additions were added today. The county does not release the town/city of individual cases. If there has been a new case and a new area has not been added, that means it is in an area that has already been affected before. Once an area is added it is not removed from the list because the county does not say when a town/city no longer has a case.
Local government officials gave an update in a video conference, hosted by the Greater Fulton-Oswego Chamber of Commerce today[3].
Fulton Mayor Deana Michaels has formed an advisory board consisting of small business owners in the city. More details can be found here[4].
