OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, there have been a total of 141 additional cases of COVID-19 (data from June 6 to June 12) this past week.

Oswego County continues to see a decrease in the number of COVID-19 positive cases and hospitalizations. Still, residents are reminded to stay vigilant and practice known strategies that work to reduce the spread of the virus. These include staying home when sick, testing when symptomatic, getting vaccinated and boosted when eligible, and choosing to wear a mask as an additional protection measure.

“While no vaccine provides 100% immunity, the COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective in protecting you from becoming severely ill, ending up in the hospital, or dying from COVID-19 – and getting a booster strengthens that protection even further,” said Jodi Martin, director of preventive services for the Oswego County Health Department. “Everyone eligible should get vaccinated and boosted as a way to protect the health of all in our community.”

Oswego County Associate Public Health Educator Diane Oldenburg added, “Getting eligible children and teens vaccinated against COVID-19 can help keep them from getting really sick if they do get the virus. Vaccinations can also keep them in school, summer camps or daycare and safely participating in sports, playdates, and other group activities. Talk with your healthcare provider about getting your children vaccinated and boosted.”

The Oswego County Health Department reported an additional 141 residents tested positive for the virus from Monday, June 6 through Sunday, June 12. This includes both lab-confirmed and at-home tests. In addition, three residents were hospitalized due to COVID-19 between Sunday, June 5 and Saturday, June 11.

The following report reflects data collected from Monday, June 6 through Sunday, June 12:

  • Number of lab/provider tests: 1,875
  • Number of lab/provider positive cases: 112
  • Percentage of lab/provider positive cases: 5.97%
  • Number of at-home positive test results: 29
