OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 23 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since Saturday, September 19.
The cumulative reported number 569 is cases across the county and of those, 464 have recovered and four have died.
“The Oswego County Health Department monitors COVID-19 activity throughout the county,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “We continue to work closely with the college and the state Department of Health to address this case surge… With SUNY Oswego taking this two-week ‘pause,’ now is an excellent time to remind students about the precautions and urge them to make good choices that will help their school re-open. It is absolutely critical that students and residents everywhere must wear their face masks and be diligent about handwashing and maintaining social distance.”
The Oswego County Health Department is aware of the differences between the SUNY Oswego and the Oswego County COVID-19 dashboards due to different scopes and timing in reporting.
“The college’s dashboard includes all students, including those from different counties, whereas the county’s dashboard includes only those who are living in Oswego County. Students who went to their home county and tested positive there are included in the college’s numbers but not the county’s. Also, the county and the college have different working procedures and cut-off times for reporting,” Huang said.

If this is accurately stated above…”SUNY Oswego cases are included in the county numbers.” Why then are the county active cases not at least the same as the college active number? I don’t have a PhD in math but when you look 101 active in the county it doesn’t equal 134 active for SUNY. If they are included should the total be 235? Yes please trust the county as they continue to manipulate numbers.
