OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 62 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday and one more Oswego County person is reported to have died due to the virus.

The health department released a limited report and will release a more detailed report on Monday.

“We are sad to report that we have lost another neighbor to COVID-19,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “This marks the 22nd 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.”

He reminds residents that new cases continue to be on the rise in Oswego County.

“Our investigations show the virus is mostly being brought into a home by one member of the household and spreading in the home,” Huang said. “To protect yourself and your loved ones, please avoid non-essential gatherings and continue social distancing, face-masking and frequent handwashing.”

Huang also urges residents to get their flu shot if they have not already.

“It’s not too late,” Huang said. “Getting the flu shot is more important than ever with this continuous rise in COVID-19 cases.”

Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup added that the coronavirus is rampant throughout the county and we all need to work together to help prevent the spread of the disease.

“Please take personal responsibility for your behaviors to keep yourselves, your families and your community safe,” Weatherup said. “Follow the advice of the Health Department, get your flu shot, practice preventative measures and comply with isolation and quarantine rules to help us all get on the other side of this.” 

The Oswego County Health Department is investigating a confirmed case of COVID-19 at Good Guys Barber Shop, 195 W. First St., Oswego.

Anyone who visited the store on Thursday, Dec. 17 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. may have been exposed to the virus.
