OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of five additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) this past week.

“While Oswego County’s new case counts have remained low in the last weeks, the pandemic is not over yet,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “In the coming months, we must continue combating COVID-19 virus. In this continuous fight, the vaccine is the important weapon to contain the virus… The virus changes constantly. Recently, the Delta variant of the coronavirus has been spreading rapidly throughout the U.S. and worldwide. Evidence shows that this variant is more transmissible and virulent. If vaccinated people are infected, they are unlikely to develop severe illness. An unvaccinated person with Delta infection is roughly twice as likely to require hospital treatment than a person infected with the previously dominant variant. Since the COVID-19 vaccination started, county residents received more than 107,000 doses of the vaccine. As of today, almost half of total population in the County is fully vaccinated. But we still have more than 2,500 residents who received only the first vaccine in a two-dose series and many areas of the county with low vaccine coverage rates.”

Huang urged residents to get vaccinated if you are not already. If you are vaccinated with only one dose of Pfizer or Moderna, get your second shot now.

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.
