OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 55 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday.

“We noticed relatively lower daily positive case reports in recent days and continue to monitor all reports,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “Still, I urge residents to be diligent in their preventative measures. Wearing a face mask, social distancing, frequent handwashing and avoiding non-essential gatherings remain the best ways to protect each other from the spread of COVID-19.”

In the battle against the coronavirus, Huang said that the COVID-19 vaccine has brought both hope and frustration to residents.

“Receiving ample supplies of the vaccine remains our biggest challenge,” Huang said. “It makes it difficult for us to plan clinics, and for our eligible residents to get vaccinations. While we finally had enough vaccines to hold our first large-scale clinic and vaccinate 961 people, there are many more still looking for an appointment. I know it’s frustrating right now, and as soon as we get more vaccines, we will be able to open more clinics.”

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.
