OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 57 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday, and there has been one new death due to the virus.

Today there are 591 active cases across the county.

SUNY Oswego reported one case today.

“We are sad to report that we have lost another county resident to COVID-19,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “This marks the sixth confirmed coronavirus-related death of an Oswego County resident. I would like to express our condolences to the family and friends of this patient for their loss.”

Huang said there have been recent discrepancies in the numbers of COVID-related deaths reported by the County and State Health Departments, and the county is working to determine the reasons for the discrepancies.

“The County Health Department reports are based on death certificates and medical examiners’ reports of Oswego County residents only,” Huang said. “The discrepancies and the time delay in reporting deaths between the county and state dashboards are likely due to the way the information is being relayed to the state by hospitals, nursing homes, and adult care facilities. At the same time, the county’s data is based on death certificates from towns and cities and reports from medical examiners. Unfortunately, as the virus spreads in our county, there will be more hospitalizations and more lives lost among our residents. We are collaborating with hospitals, nursing homes, and adult care facilities in the County on providing accurate and timely reports.”

County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup said the health department is tracking many clusters of cases among family members who live in different households. 

“Social gatherings are a major factor in spreading the coronavirus,” Weatherup said. “We need everyone to follow the advice of the Health Department, practice preventative measures and comply with isolation and quarantine rules.”

Today’s statistics are below:

Oswego County: (as of 3 p.m.) Note, the total number of positive cases is cumulative since March and the number of recoveries and deaths are of those numbers. SUNY Oswego cases are included in the county numbers, however, the county tracks only those living in Oswego County. That means that students who chose to leave and go back to their home county and test positive there will be included on the college’s dashboard, but not the county’s. Their positive result would be reported to their home county, not here.
