OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, there have been a total of 94 additional cases of COVID-19 (data from June 27 to July 3) this past week.

There was no report yesterday due to the holiday.

Positive COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to decrease in Oswego County. New weekly case numbers have now dropped to under 100 for the first time since August of 2021.

“We’re happy to get to this milestone and ask residents to continue working with us to maintain our progress,” said Oswego County Deputy Public Health Director Vera Dunsmoor. “Stay vigilant in your prevention measures. Take a test if you are experiencing symptoms and stay home if you are sick to help prevent the spread of the virus.” 

The Oswego County Health Department reported that 94 additional residents tested positive for the virus from Monday, June 27 through Sunday, July 3. This includes both lab-confirmed and at-home tests.

The following report reflects data collected from Monday, June 27 through Sunday, July 3:

An additional three Oswego County residents were hospitalized due to COVID-19 between Sunday, June 26 and Saturday, July 2, 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 at https://oswegogis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/3fd162cd12264b418dc03bdebd7f5300[1].

One way to keep moving forward is for people to keep their COVID-19 vaccinations up to date. 

Jodi Martin, director of preventive services for the Oswego County Health Department reminds residents, “While no vaccine provides 100% immunity, COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective in protecting you from becoming severely ill, ending up in the hospital, or dying from COVID-19. All those who are eligible should get vaccinated and boosted as a way to protect the health of everyone in our community.”

This goes for eligible children and teens too. Last month, federal approvals for the COVID-19 vaccine were expanded to include children aged 6 months to 4 years. 

“Getting kids vaccinated against COVID-19 can protect them from getting really sick if they do get the virus,” said Oswego County Associate Public Health Educator Diane Oldenburg. “Vaccinations can also help them stay in daycare, summer camp or school as well as participate in sports, playdates, and other group activities. Parents should talk with their health care provider about getting their children vaccinated and boosted.”

The Oswego County Health Department recently announced its July vaccination clinic schedule which includes COVID-19 vaccinations for children aged 6 months to 4 years. Clinics are held every Tuesday afternoon from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. by appointment only. An additional clinic is held the second Wednesday of each month, from 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. Walk-ins are accepted on Wednesdays, but residents are strongly encouraged to go to health.oswegocounty.com/vaccines[2] to make an appointment to avoid wait times.

The Oswego County Office for the Aging can help people aged 60 and older who need help navigating the internet to make appointments. Call 315-349-3484.

Vaccines are also available at local pharmacies and health care provider offices. Face masks are required at all clinics and at-home COVID-19 test kits will be distributed to those getting vaccinated at a county clinic while supplies last.
