OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 20 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday.

“The daily counts of new COVID-19 positive cases have remained at or below two dozen per day over the past few weeks,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “Even so, this does not mean that we can ease our preventive measures. We are still seeing virus activity in our community, facing emerging coronavirus variants, and relative vaccine shortage. I urge our residents to continue practicing safe behaviors such as wearing a face mask, social distancing, washing their hands frequently and avoiding non-essential gatherings.”

The Oswego County Health Department has partnered with Pulaski Urgent Care to provide Oswego County residents free COVID-19 testing in Oswego on Tuesday, March 2. Pulaski Urgent Care will bring its mobile unit and provide rapid COVID tests at a drive-through clinic from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Oswego High School, 2 Buccaneer Blvd.

Registration is required. To register, visit https://health.oswegocounty.com/information/2019_novel_coronavirus/free_covid-19_testing.php [1]or call the Oswego County COVID-19 hotline at 315-349-3330. The hotline is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

A partnership between Oswego County and Oswego County Opportunities, Inc. provides free transportation for residents to go to COVID-19 test and vaccination sites. Transportation is available between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Call 315-598-1514 to schedule a ride in advance.

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 193 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.
