OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 34 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and three more county residents have died since yesterday.

“I would like to express our condolences to the families and friends of these patients,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “These losses remind us that the virus is still in our midst. Even though we noticed that the new cases are in a downward trend recently, but we must be diligent in our preventative measures until most of the population is vaccinated or becomes immune to the virus. Wear a face mask, social distance, wash your hands frequently and avoid non-essential gatherings.”

He also said that the need for the COVID-19 vaccine is much greater than the supply right now.

“There are many people looking for an appointment and we understand that it’s frustrating. We hope the situation will change when we can get consistent supplies of the vaccine.” 

“Our County Health department and our health care partners in the community are doing their very best to get the vaccine into the arms of our residents,” said Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup. “Unfortunately, we have no control on the supply of vaccine. We can, however, help people get to their COVID-19 testing or vaccination appointments if they are having transportation issues. We have partnered with Oswego County Opportunities, Inc. to provide this free transportation to our residents.”

The Oswego County Health Department is also partnering with Pulaski Urgent Care to bring 100 free rapid COVID-19 tests in its mobile unit to various locations around the county. Testing will be offered to those who live and work in Oswego County. Online registration and details will be announced when they are finalized.

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.
