OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 30 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) this week, and one more Oswego County resident has died in relation to the virus.

“We are sad to report that we have lost another resident to COVID-19 over the past weekend,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “This is the first COVID-19-related death in Oswego County since April 6. Every death is an unfortunate turn in our efforts to fight this virus and our condolences go out to the families and friends of this patient.”

As of today, 59.3% of Oswego county residents aged 18 years and over have received at least one dose of vaccine, and 49,649 residents have completed the vaccine series. For the population aged 65 years and over, Oswego County has vaccinated 83.5%, which continues to be higher than the statewide vaccination rate of 80% for that age group.

“Due to these high vaccination rates, Oswego County’s seven-day accumulated new case count today is 30, which is the lowest since the beginning of last November,” Huang said. “I encourage residents who have not yet done so, to get their vaccination. The vaccines are safe and effective. They prevent severe symptoms, hospitalization and death. They are also widely available now. They are free and do not require health insurance.” 

Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup briefed the public today. In today’s video, he discussed an award given to Dr. Christina Liepke, the American Rescue Plan and the newly renovated Safe Haven Museum in Oswego.

These county updates videos will be released every other Tuesday. Oswego County Today will continue our reports every Tuesday.

Weatherup congratulated Oswego County’s Medical Director Dr. Christina Liepke for receiving the Amelia Earhart Woman on the Year Award from the Oswego Zonta Club. She is being honored for her leadership role in the county’s response to COVID-19. She has been medical director since 2014 and provides medical guidance on the Oswego County Health Department’s operations.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, her work at the health department rose to a new level,” Weatherup said. “She’s a trusted resource who provided us with valuable advice on testing, organizing clinics, and helping to plan  the county’s COVID-19 response activities.”

Weatherup also discussed the American Rescue Plan passed by Congress. He said there are over 150 pages on what this money can and cannot be used for.

“We see this as an incredible opportunity for community leaders to work together to foster a resilient economic plan for our county,” Weatherup said. “Some people have suggest infrastructure improvements, such as broadband access, public water and sewer services that would improve the quality of life in our county for generations to come. We are still in the early planning stage.”

He also reminded residents that Oswego County has beautiful places to explore this summer and has unique activities for residents and visitors. This week’s tourism tip of the week is to check out the newly renovated Safe Haven Museum and Holocaust Refugee Shelter in Oswego, which was closed during the pandemic. It reopened yesterday.

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.

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