OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 46 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday.
Today there are 388 active cases across the county.
SUNY Oswego reported no new cases since yesterday.
County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang said the community’s weak point in the COVID pandemic is people who choose not to practice protective measures such as social distancing and wearing a face covering.
“It is widely believed that four steps can protect communities from COVID-19 and as so restore the economy,” said Huang, who is an epidemiologist. “The four steps are: 1). Personal preventive measures; 2). Testing; 3). Contact tracing; and 4). Quarantine and isolation. As our community has seen a continuous increase of positive cases reported, stopping the spread of the COVID-19 virus and avoiding a general lockdown depends on these important measures. Our testing capacity has increased greatly in Oswego County through recent private, non-profit and public collaborative efforts, and it will continue to increase in the coming weeks. For many months, the County Health Department has diligently conducted contact tracing and identified those who should be quarantined and isolated. Our community’s weak point is personal preventive measures. It is critical that community members take action to join our collective efforts in making our community and economy healthy.”
Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup said the virus is rampant throughout the county and people should assume they can be exposed to COVID anywhere they go in Central New York.
“All of us working together can help prevent the pandemic from becoming dramatically worse,” Weatherup said. “Please keep yourself safe and take personal responsibility so we can avoid additional restrictions and future shutdowns. Please do your part to protect yourselves, your families and your communities.”
Note – OCT will not post a report tomorrow, November 26, due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Our report on Friday will contain the numbers for tomorrow in addition to Friday’s numbers. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday.
Today’s statistics are below:
Oswego County:[1] (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.
