Long List Of COVID-19 Public Exposures Announced In Oneida County

When it comes to the numbers it was a fairly normal day in Oneida County. This is also the first weekday that County Executive Anthony Picente has not had a press briefing.

According to Picente's office announced the addition of 12 new positive COVID-19 cases, 2 of which are nursing home related. That brings the total number to 1,045. The good news is that there were no new fatalities. The number of Oneida County residents hospitalized is now at 50, with 41 being treated in the county and 9 outside.

Of those 50 Oneida County residents hospitalized, 40 of them are nursing home residents and 32 of those are at MVHS and 8 are in Rome Memorial Hospital.

Picente also announced a lengthy list of new potential public exposures. That is not something that is surprising, given the gradual phased reopening. The list includes the following dates.
