OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 40 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since Friday, March 12.

“While the daily counts from the past three days shows a decrease in new positive cases, the seven-day accumulative case count of 120 today is still higher than it was two weeks ago. On March 1, the seven-day accumulative case count was 88, which is the lowest it’s been since early November 2020,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “We cannot relax our protection practices just yet. We must be steadfast and follow the safety protocols that will help us get through this pandemic. Wear a face mask, social distance, wash your hands frequently and avoid non-essential gatherings.”

The Oswego County Health Department is administering vaccines weekly to eligible people based on NYS Department of Health guidelines. The health department posts appointment links to their website at health.oswegocounty.com at 10 a.m. every Thursday. A vaccination hotline is also available to help people make appointments by phone. It is open from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursdays at 315-349-3383.

“We are happy that so many in our community are interested in being vaccinated to help end this pandemic,” Huang said.  “Demand for the vaccine remains high and appointments fill quickly. We ask residents to please be patient and check back often as additional appointments become available each week.”

Local pharmacies are vaccinating those aged 60 years and older. Some are also able to administer to teachers and school staff, and licensed childcare providers. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the Hannibal Pharmacy at 315-564-6464, The Medicine Place in Phoenix at 315-695-4200 or The Medicine Place in Fulton at 315-593-8378.

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 200 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.

The first two cases in Oswego County were confirmed March 22, 2020.
