OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m. today, there has been one additional case of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since Saturday, May 30. The cumulative reported number is 105 cases across the county and of those, 83 have recovered and three have died.
Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup briefed the public today in a YouTube video where he addressed the current climate across the nation following the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.
“For some of us, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a significant inconvenience; for others, it has been a life altering disaster,” Weatherup said. “Some of the frustrations built up have caused people to react to other events in our country in ways that have gone beyond what otherwise might be considered a typical and productive response. The George Floyd incident in Minnesota, while undeniably inappropriate, shameful and heart-breaking, has been used as an excuse by anarchists, rioters, looters and thieves to cause physical and financial harm to unrelated private citizens and businesses. Freedom of speech is a protected right in America and one that we’ll always cherish and support. Arson, looting and rioting are not protected actions, and people committing these activities should be properly dealt with. Having said that, I was pleased and not at all surprised that yesterday’s rally[1] in Oswego was peaceful and uneventful, yet another demonstration to the world that we are a community that is built around people – one that understands civility and one that supports our individual rights to peacefully enjoy all that is good about being an American.”
Weatherup also spoke about Phase Two of the reopening process and encouraged the public to support the county’s small businesses as they begin to reopen and prepare to reopen. Some restaurants are able to provide outdoor seating for customers to sit and eat their take out and retail stores and professional services are beginning to open with industry specific guidelines to follow.
Weatherup said the county also has begun the process of bringing its employees back to the county facilities. Face masks are still required in public when social distancing is not possible and social gatherings must be limited to 10 people or less.

The county does not release the town/city of individual cases. If there has been a new case and a new area has not been added, that means it is in an area that has already been affected before. Once an area is added it is not removed from the list because the county does not say when a town/city no longer has a case.
