OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m. today, there have been no new additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday. The cumulative reported number is still 115 cases across the county and of those, 105 have recovered and three have died.

Oswego County Chairman James Weatherup announced today in a video briefing that Central New York is on track to enter Phase Three of reopening tomorrow, June 12.

This includes personal care services such as nail salons, tattoo parlors and spas will be allowed to reopen at 50% capacity. Waiting rooms will be closed and customers and employees must wear face masks. Restaurants will be able to serve customers indoors, also at 50% capacity.

“Please keep in mind that there are several mandated requirements that businesses need to comply with before they can open their doors,” Weatherup said. “They need to develop a site safety plan, submit it to the state, and a test that they have read the requirements before they can reopen.”

More information on the requirements can be found here.

Gyms, dance studios and fitness centers will not be able to open during Phase Three, but must wait until Phase Four. Remote instruction is allowed, but there will be no in-person interaction until the facilities can reopen, including group classes of any size, solitary or group recreation, or one-on-one personal training.

The county government will be able to resume some services that were put on hold during the pandemic closures. The Health Department will be able to hold its first rabies clinic since the pandemic started next Wednesday, June 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the County Highway Garage in Scriba (by appointment only.) Call 315-349-3557 to make an appointment. Please arrive 10 minutes before the appointment time, remain in your vehicle until you are called in, wear a face mask and social distance as much as possible. The Health Department will resume its regular rabies clinic next month.

The Oswego County COVID-19 Hotline (315-349-3330) will be now be available Monday through Friday.

“Our goal continues to be to provide the safest possible environment for our families and neighbors,” Weatherup said. “Staying safe from infection must be our highest priority. Please continue to wash hands frequently, wear a face mask and maintain social distancing.”

Today’s statistics are below.

Oswego County: (as of 3 p.m.) Note, the total number of positive cases is cumulative and the number of recoveries and deaths are of those numbers.

The county has stopped releasing data for pending results, number of people in precautionary quarantine and total number completed/released from monitoring. Data will not be released on Sundays. Antibody test results are released once a week.

All known contacts of COVID-19 positive patients are being notified. In the event that a known case had public exposure when they were contagious, such as someone who worked in a restaurant, the county health department would alert citizens through the news media and social media.

Areas With Cases (alphabetical order):

COVID-19 has been identified in the cities of Fulton and Oswego and the towns of Boylston, Constantia, Granby, Hannibal, Hastings, Mexico, Minetto, New Haven, Orwell, Oswego, Palermo, Parish, Redfield, Richland, Sandy Creek, Schroeppel, Scriba, Volney, West Monroe and Williamstown.  

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.

  • Total # of positive cases: 380,892 (yesterday: 380,156)
