OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, there have been a total of 432 additional cases of COVID-19 (data from February 14 to February 20) and four more COVID-19 related deaths has been reported. 

There was no report yesterday due to President’s Day.

“Our condolences go out to the families and loved ones of these people,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “Each death is a painful setback in our efforts to fight this virus. Despite this, seven-day accumulated positive case counts continue to decline in the past several weeks, as does the seven-day positivity percentage of lab-confirmed tests. In addition, slightly more residents got booster doses in the past week than the previous week. We encourage residents to go get a booster dose if they are eligible. Many pharmacies offer the walk-in service for COVID-19 vaccination now.”

According to the CDC[1], COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective in preventing severe SARS-CoV-2-associated outcomes, including those caused by the Delta variant and the now-dominant Omicron variant. A recent study was conducted which shows that having up-to-date COVID-19 vaccinations is critical to protect against serious infection and hospitalization.

The following report reflects data collected from Monday, Feb. 14 through Sunday, Feb. 20: 

An additional 23 Oswego County residents were hospitalized due to COVID-19 between Sunday, Feb. 13 and Saturday, Feb. 19, according to the hospitalization report received by the Oswego County Health Department. New hospitalization numbers are not part of a running total of hospitalizations. For hospitalization details such as age groups and vaccination status, go to the Oswego County COVID-19 Dashboard[2].

The Oswego County Health Department continues to hold COVID-19 vaccination clinics across the county and vaccines are also available at many local pharmacies and health care provider offices. Face masks are still required at all clinics and at-home test kits will be distributed to those getting vaccinated at a County clinic while supplies last.
