OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 2:30 p.m. today, there have been two additional case of COVID-19 since yesterday. The total is now 10 across the county.
In a Facebook post today Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow confirmed the ninth case reported this morning is in Oswego.
“We have our first case of COVID-19 is the City of Oswego and I want people to be aware,” Barlow said in the post. “If you haven’t already, now is the time to get serious and practice real social distancing. Remember, being a small community, we all use the same stores, travel the same areas and use the same public amenities. It can spread easily and rapidly. However, WE control the community spread and if we practice social distancing properly, we can stop the spread. The power is with us, so let’s stay inside, minimize contact and stay healthy.”
A briefing today was led by Barlow and can be seen here.
In a post on Facebook yesterday, Fulton Mayor Deana Michaels confirmed that Fulton has one case.
