Weekly COVID-19 Statistics Update: July 20 – July 26
by Kassadee Bradshaw | July 26, 2021 4:41 pm
OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 22 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) this past week.
Across the nation, there has been a spike in new COVID-19 cases in recent weeks and Oswego County is no exception to this trend. Two or three weeks ago, the county’s seven-day accumulated case counts were less than 10 and now it has increased to around 20. The CDC has upgraded the County’s community transmission risk level from “low” to “moderate.”
“We have also seen increases in both the volume of COVID-19 testing and the percentages of positive test results,” Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang added. “Just as it has been reported in the rest of the country, most of the cases reported here are also people who are either not vaccinated or are not fully vaccinated. This trend does not look good. We have seen some fully vaccinated people infected and many of them have underlying conditions.”
Huang encourages residents who are not vaccinated or are not fully vaccinated to get the vaccine or their second dose as soon as they are able.
“To protect yourself, your loved ones and your neighbors, vaccine is the best tool we have to defeat this virus. The vaccine is effective in preventing severe cases, hospitalization and death,” Huang said.
Health Department staff strive to administer the vaccine to more residents.
“They go into households to vaccinate homebound patients, they hold clinics in areas with low vaccination rates and they extend the hours of the weekly walk-in clinics to get more people vaccinated,” Huang said. “Our staff were pleased to administer over 50 doses of vaccine at last Wednesday’s walk-in clinic – a record-breaking number of people since we started holding these smaller clinics.”
Now is a good time for parents to get their students aged 12 years and above vaccinated against COVID-19. The Oswego County Health Department has scheduled three vaccination clinics for this week.
The first two clinics will be held on Wednesday, July 28 at the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic, 70 Bunner St., Oswego:
- From 1 to 3 p.m., health staff will administer the Pfizer vaccine to those aged 12 years and above. It is a two-dose series, so those who attend should plan to return on Wednesday, Aug. 18 for their second shot.
- From 4 to 5:30 p.m., health staff will administer the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is a single dose shot, approved for those aged 18 years and above only.
The third clinic will be held on Thursday, July 29 at the Sandy Creek Fire Department, 6026 S. Main St., Sandy Creek:
- From 4 to 7:30 p.m., individuals can choose either the Pfizer or the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine is approved for those aged 12 years and above. It is a two-dose series, so those who choose this vaccine should plan to return on Thursday, Aug. 19 for their second shot. The Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a single dose vaccine and approved for those aged 18 years and above only.
Walk-ins are welcomed, though appointments and online pre-registration are still appreciated.

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.
