OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of seven additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) from Wednesday, June 16, to yesterday, June 20.

  • Wednesday: no new cases
  • Thursday: 2 new cases
  • Friday: 1 new case
  • Saturday: no new cases
  • Sunday: 4 new cases
  • Today: none reported

Beginning today, Oswego County will issue a weekly COVID-19 report every Monday which covers the previous seven days. In this first weekly report, nine cases of COVID-19 were already reported from last Monday through Friday. Next Monday’s report will include new cases reported today through Sunday, June 27.

The county will continue its bi-weekly county updates video every other Tuesday. Updated numbers will not be included in those videos.

As a result of this change in schedule, Oswego County Today will now post its weekly statistics update on Monday afternoons after the county results are released, and will also report on the county’s bi-weekly videos on the Tuesdays they are released. The next Oswego County Today COVID-19 statistics update will be posted Monday, June 28.

According to the county, this transition allows the health and other departments to focus resources on vaccination clinics and other COVID-19 recovery activities.

“Thanks to all of the hard work we have done as a community to reduce the spread of the virus and lower new case counts. The County’s 7-day case counts continue reducing and CDC has placed the County to the ‘low community transmission’,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “But our work is not done. We know that the virus is still in our communities and some pockets of Oswego County, and its population have low vaccination rates. New variants continue to be a potential threat as well. Because of these things, we must increase COVID-19 vaccinations. The health department keeps working with local communities to promote vaccination.”

Huang urges residents to get vaccinated if they are eligible and to encourage their eligible family members and friends to get the vaccine as well. “The vaccines are safe, effective and widely available,” he said. “They are also free, and residents don’t need to have health insurance. There is no out-of-pocket expense to get a shot.

He also reminds residents to be sure to keep their second dose appointments for the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines. “There is still time for every resident to do their part to help us get this virus under control and make our communities safe for everyone.”

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. missing or outdated ad config
