OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m. today, there have been three additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday.
The cumulative reported number is 194 cases across the county and of those, 160 people have recovered and four have died.
Today Governor Andrew Cuomo gave an update on two COVID-19 clusters in the Upstate area, one of which is the cluster discovered at Champlain Valley Specialties in the Town of Oswego. The other cluster is located in Montgomery County.
“Oswego County Apple Packaging Plant: In mid-June, contact tracing efforts revealed that three new positive COVID-19 cases were employees of an apple packaging plant in Oswego County,” Cuomo’s office said in a press release[1]. “Over the next days, State DOH and the Oswego County Health Department tested known contacts of positive cases, including employees of the plant, and set up a free testing site at an apartment complex where a number of the employees and their families reside. Out of 179 employees, 82 have tested positive to date. The plant remains closed as the cluster is investigated and contained. Many of the plant’s employees reside in either Onondaga County or Oneida County, contributing to the recent uptick in confirmed positive cases and percentage of positive test results in both counties and the Central New York and Mohawk Valley regions. Additionally, as a result of the community testing and investigation efforts undertaken by State DOH and Oswego County Health Department, a possible connection was found to a local onion farm. All 18 staff of the farm have been tested, with 4 positive cases to date.”
According to yesterday’s update[2] given by Diane Oldenburg, Senior Public Health Educator for the Oswego County Health Department, 37 of the employees who tested positive reside in Oswego County.
Today’s statistics are below.
Oswego County:[3] (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.
