OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been 25 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since yesterday.

*Correction: we had previously written 11 new cases. There are 25 new cases. There are 11 additional active cases from yesterday.

Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup posted his weekly briefing today. In the video, he discussed vaccination updates.

“It’s exactly one year since the first county resident was quarantined as a precautionary measure after possible exposure to COVID-19,” Weatherup said. “Since then, 158,030 COVID tests have been administered and 6,507 residents have been diagnosed with the virus. Fortunately, most have recovered. Eighty nine members of our Oswego County community lost their lives to COVID-19 since we began the pandemic.”

He said that 26,693 county residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 12,117 residents are now fully vaccinated – twice the number of those who have been diagnosed with the virus.

Weatherup offered special recognition to the Fulton City School District for hosting large-scale vaccination clinics.

Beginning March 10, all New Yorkers 60 years of age and older will be eligible to receive the vaccine, while public facing essential workers from governmental and nonprofit entities will be eligible beginning March 17. This expansion also includes public-facing essential building services workers. More information on this announcement can be found here[1].

Beginning March 19, restaurants (outside New York City) may increase to 75% capacity. Beginning April 2, events, arts and entertainment venues can open at 33% capacity with up to 100 people indoors and up to 200 people outdoors. That capacity can increase up to 150 indoors and 500 outdoors if everyone shows proof of a negative COVID-19 test. Beginning March 22, homes can host 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors. Other social gatherings in public spaces can have up to 100 people indoor and 200 outdoor.

“As vaccine supply increases and more residents get vaccinated, we have not seen case numbers continuously decrease as we would expect,” said Senior Public Health Educator Diane Oldenburg. “Although vaccine coverage is increasing, the virus remains active. We encourage residents to collaborate with us, remain vigilant and continue their protective measures.”

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 198 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. missing or outdated ad config
