Notes: The total number of positive cases in Oswego County is cumulative since March 2020 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.
SUNY Oswego reset its numbers for the Winter/Spring 2021 semesters and does not include numbers from Aug. 12, 2020 to Jan. 1, 2021. Total cases reported include 192 past positive cases (experienced during the winter break: Nov. 2020 –Jan. 2021) of students residing off-campus, who were required to provide evidence of positive test results and recovery upon returning to campus.

45 new case in 3 days, total cases drop by 20, still limited in person instruction and no spectators for sports in this county. Onondaga reducing spacing to 3 feet, some districts 5 days a week in person, other counties allow at least 1 parent to attend. Why not here? The health department loves to control people and continue to push fear on the community. If the democrats in Albany are considering taking Cuomo’s control away maybe we should look to do the same here.
