OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 168 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) this week.

Note – Oswego County Today now reports the COVID-19 statistics weekly on Tuesdays instead of Monday through Friday. Our next report will be Tuesday, April 6.

Beginning today all New Yorkers aged 30 and above are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Beginning next week, April 6, all New Yorkers aged 16 to 29 will join the eligibility list. More information can be found here[1].

“With New York State opening up eligibility for residents and vaccine supplies slowly increasing, I urge those who are eligible for a vaccine to make an appointment and get one,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “Even if a clinic looks like it’s fully booked, keep checking back.

Appointments may become available if other people cancel theirs. Until we can get enough people vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. We must remember that the virus is still active in our community. Please follow COVID-19 safety protocols, regardless of your vaccination status. Wear a face mask, social distance, wash your hands frequently and avoid non-essential gatherings.”

Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup posted his weekly briefing today. In today’s video, he discussed the updated vaccination requirements, thanking residents for doing their part in receiving the vaccine.

“The more residents we can get vaccinated, the closer we will get to herd immunity,” Weatherup said. “We’re glad so many of you are also looking forward to getting vaccinated and ending this pandemic.”

The chairman said the Oswego County Health Department continues to vaccinate homebound patients and the department asks for patience with this process.

The administration’s requirements include a careful scheduling of visits in order to reach the maximum number of residents, while insuring the use of every vaccine.

Anyone who is homebound can call the Oswego County Health Department’s COVID-19 vaccine hotline at 315-349-3330 to register for the vaccine – the hotline open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, an individual is considered homebound if “they are unable to leave their home without help, or without a considerable amount of effort,” Weatherup said.

In an effort to maximize county resources, if residents have the ability to go shopping with some assistance, they are encouraged to get vaccinated at one of the counties open vaccination clinics. The chairman also encouraged anyone who is a caregiver to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Senior Public Health Educator Diane Oldenburg gave an overview of the daily COVID-19 report. The briefing video reported the following numbers for the vaccine in Oswego County:

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.

SUNY Oswego reset its numbers for the Winter/Spring 2021 semesters and does not include numbers from Aug. 12, 2020 to Jan. 1, 2021. Total cases reported include 205 past positive cases (experienced during the winter break: Nov. 2020 –Jan. 2021) of students residing off-campus, who were required to provide evidence of positive test results and recovery upon returning to campus.

The first two cases in Oswego County were confirmed March 22, 2020.
