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.

These numbers are skewed as I know for a fact someone who has been diagnosed COVID positive as of 3/15/21 and due to not getting put into the county health system yet isn’t counted in the numbers so when doctors & the health department can’t get things done faster the numbers become false. Usually there’s more than what’s being reported as of a certain date!
