“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 state Department of Health and local entities in our investigations… Prior to the re-opening of schools, we worked with all of our districts to review plans and procedures and set up a communication network that is open seven days a week. This past weekend, we utilized the network with the Hannibal School District to achieve a timely and cooperative response to COVID-19. It was a successful, collaborative effort to implement strategies to contain the spread of the virus with the school district.”
