OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 106 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and one more county resident has died since yesterday.

“We are sad to report that we have lost another neighbor,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “This marks the sixty-second 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, “In addition to the continuously increasing number of deaths in our community, today also marks the second highest single day case report since the pandemic started. The highest, 129, happened just four days ago on Jan 10. These people represent the sad and indisputable fact that COVID-19 is rampant in our communities and we all must do what we can to prevent the spread of the virus.”

While the COVID-19 vaccine is becoming available through the New York State Vaccination Program, it is still closely rationed.

“Right now, supplies of the COVID-19 vaccine are our biggest challenge,” Huang said. “The allotments we have received from the state have been very limited and we quickly administered all of those doses. We have had mass vaccination plans in place for just this type of situation and we practice them every year. We’re ready. We just need a bigger allotment of the vaccine – and on a regular schedule – so that we can plan and publicize clinics and get people vaccinated following the State’s priority schedule.” 

Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup agreed; saying, “Our County Health department and our health care partners are doing their very best to deploy the vaccine within the guidance and the allotments that New York State has given us. While we have the capability to vaccinate several thousand residents a week, we have only received a few hundred doses in that timeframe. So, we’re asking our residents to please be patient. The amount of vaccine we receive, the vaccination priority schedules, and the links on the State’s website are not controlled here locally.”

Notes: The total number of positive cases in Oswego County 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.

SUNY Oswego reset its numbers for the Winter/Spring 2021 semesters and does not include numbers from Aug. 12, 2020 to Jan. 1, 2021.
