OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 22 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since Friday, October 30.

The cumulative reported number is 812 cases across the county and of those, 755 have recovered and five have died.

SUNY Oswego reported two new cases since Friday.

“The health department is tracking virus activity as reports of positive cases from small clusters continue to come in from various parts of the county,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “We are very concerned about vulnerable populations, such as those in nursing care facilities, and sensible settings, such as schools.”

Huang said the health department is grateful to have community partners working together to address COVID-19 spread in the community.

“We hope every individuals keep practicing preventative measures in the coming weeks and months,” Huang said.

The COVID-19 positive cases in today’s report are cumulative over the last three days. They include three employees from St. Luke Health Services and according to the health department, three cases from SUNY Oswego; two on-campus and one off-campus. (Today the college reported two since Friday.)

Terry Gorman, CEO and Administrator of St. Luke Health Services said, “We continue to conduct regular testing according to county health department, state and federal guidelines and promptly notify our staff, residents and families in the event of a positive result in keeping with our protocol. The three St. Luke Health Services employees testing positive for COVID-19 were asymptomatic and remain in isolation at their homes. We continue with necessary precautionary measures as our medical team monitors all residents and staff. Currently there are no residents or other staff at St. Luke who are displaying symptoms of a respiratory illness. As the rate of infection continues to increase in our community, we urge everyone to protect themselves and others.”  

As the virus continues to spread in communities throughout the county, the health department reminds people that they must be diligent about wearing their face masks in stores and businesses, practicing social distancing and frequent hand-washing.
