OSWEGO, NY- After SUNY Oswego’s spike in COVID-19 cases sparked uncertainty, SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras says he is confident in SUNY Oswego’s testing and mitigation strategies.
“It’s under control here,” says Malatras. “[Oswego] has the testing and isolation in place. If it does get to the point where they have to use more mitigation efforts, they stand ready to do that.”
SUNY Oswego saw it’s biggest spike in COVID-19 cases this semester over the weekend. Cases continue to rise. As of Wednesday, there are 64 total cases according to the COVID-19 dashboard.
