Mayor Billy Barlow announced today the City of Oswego now has a positive case of COVID-19 in city limits.
Oswego County announced today an increase in COVID-19 cases, from eight cases county-wide, to nine, and Barlow announced the ninth case in the City of Oswego.
“Finally having a positive case in the City of Oswego should make people realize that this virus knows no boundaries. People should take social distances measures even more seriously now that we know the virus is in fact in our community,” said Mayor Billy Barlow. “I believe that knowledge is power, transparency is important and that is why I’m compelled to confirm we have a case in our city. I hope the first positive case catches the attention of our residents, we socially distance more than we already are and we realize how important it is to heed all the warnings and follow all rules that have been put in place to date,” Barlow said. “The number of positive increases is bound to increase, so I encourage people to remain calm, be extra cautious and stay home,” Barlow concluded.
Oswego County has 9 number of positives cases to date.
