OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 40 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday.

The cumulative reported number is 1,305 cases across the county and of those, 1,000 have recovered and five have died.

SUNY Oswego reported two new cases since yesterday.

Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang addressed the rapid spread of the virus across the county.

“Since the pandemic started, our COVID-19 investigators have been tracking positive cases to find out how they are connected and how the virus moves from one person to another,” said Huang. “Before this last week or two, they could identify how most of the new cases were related to other cases. However, positive cases have increased at a such a high rate in recent days, that their connections to other cases or clusters have become less defined. This shows us that the virus is widespread and fast-moving. Residents need to improve their preventive measures to help slow the spread. This includes wearing a face mask, social distancing, limiting social gatherings and washing your hands frequently.”

Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup agreed.

“The COVID-19 virus is now rampant in our county,” Weatherup said. “Many of the recent cases are the result of social gatherings. If we want to slow the spread of the virus, we need to change our behaviors. Each one of us must take personal responsibility so that we can avoid additional restrictions and future shutdowns.” 

The Oswego County Health Department is investigating a confirmed case of COVID-19 at the Oswego County Federal Credit Union, 5828 Scenic Ave., Mexico.

Customers who visited the credit union on the following dates and times may have been exposed to COVID-19:

  • Tuesday, Nov. 10 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
  • Thursday, Nov. 12 and Friday, Nov. 13 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

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.
