OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 108 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday.
Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang reminds residents that positive cases continue to surge in Oswego County.
“Just yesterday, we marked the second highest single day case report since the pandemic started with 106 new cases,” Huang said. “Now, just 24 hours later, we have a new second highest report. Both of these reports come just days after the highest daily record of 129 on Jan. 10. These people represent the sad and indisputable fact that COVID-19 is rampant in our communities and I urge our residents do all they can to prevent the spread of the virus.”
In an effort to focus its limited resources on vaccination clinics and contact tracing, the Oswego County Health Department will no longer report test results on weekends and holidays. Results received on those days will be reported on the following Monday, or day after the holiday.

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.
