OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, there have been a total of 276 additional cases of COVID-19 (data from August 22 to August 28) this past week, and another COVID-19 related death has been reported.

The Oswego County Health Department announced that positive COVID-19 cases have fallen for the first time in eight weeks and hospitalizations are cut in half compared to last week. 

Counting both lab-confirmed and at-home tests, 276 residents tested positive for the virus from Monday, Aug. 22 through Sunday, Aug. 28. This is down 59 from the previous week. In addition, four Oswego County residents were hospitalized due to COVID-19 between Sunday, Aug. 21 and Saturday, Aug. 27, according to the weekly hospitalization report. 

This good news was tempered by a report from the New York State Department of Health that another Oswego County resident died from the virus in the last week, bringing the total number of COVID-19-releated deaths to 202. 

“Losing a neighbor is always sad news regardless of any progress we make on the COVID-19 front,” said Oswego County Interim Public Health Director Vera Dunsmoor. “Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of this person. Going forward, we can honor the neighbors we’ve lost by continuing to work together to limit the spread of COVID-19.”

The following report reflects data collected from Monday, Aug. 22 through Sunday, Aug. 28:
