OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 128 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and one more county resident has died since Friday, January 22.

“The 128 positive cases reported today are a combined total from the last three days,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “On Saturday, there were 70 new cases; 25 on Sunday, and 33 today. Although daily positive case reports are relatively lower in the past couple of days, I urge residents to continue to be diligent in their preventative measures because the virus likes cold, dry weather in the winter. We need people to wear a face mask, social distance, wash their hands frequently and avoiding non-essential gatherings to protect ourselves and our loved ones.”

He also reported another COVID-19-related death from Saturday.

“This marks the 75th death of one of our neighbors,” Huang said. “Our sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of this patient.” 

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. I understand that it’s frustrating right now. There are many people still looking for an appointment. As soon as we get more vaccines, we will be able to hold 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.
