OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 37 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday.
The cumulative reported number is 1,017 cases across the county and of those, 813 have recovered and five have died.
SUNY Oswego reported four new cases since yesterday.
“We have seen a drastic increase in positive cases in the past few days,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “In less than a week, Oswego County added more than 150 positive cases. Among them, one third were related to social gatherings. Small clusters originate in families, households, and groups, and then the virus spreads quickly through social gatherings… People need to realize that COVID-19 virus activity has increased in our county. We need to enhance our preventive actions now to limit the spread of the virus. We must avoid non-essential gatherings, practice social distancing, wear our face coverings and wash our hands frequently.”

Today’s statistics are below:
Oswego County: (as of 3 p.m.) Note, the total number of positive cases 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.
