Onondaga County reports six COVID-19 deaths over the weekend
(WSYR-TV) – Onondaga County had 404 cases of COVID-19 and six deaths this weekend, County Executive Ryan McMahon tweeted Tuesday.
Three women in their 70s, 80s and 90s died, and three men in their 40s, 70s and 80s died, according to McMahon.
He added that 94 residents are currently in the hospital with COVID-19, and 10 of those patients are in the intensive care unit.
The high number of deaths comes because positive daily cases remain low compared to earlier in the year. Last week, the county had 562 cases from Friday to Monday, which is 158 more cases than the county reported Tuesday. On Saturday, 151 positive tests were reported, on Sunday 129, on Monday 78, and on Tuesday only 46.
Meanwhile, Gov. Kathy Hochul updated New Yorkers on the state’s progress in fighting COVID-19 on Tuesday.
“While students have time off for the midwinter break, I urge parents and guardians to take advantage of this time to consult with their pediatricians and make a plan to get their children vaccinated and boosted,” Governor Hochul said. “More than 1.6 million children in the state of New York have already received the vaccine. The vaccine is medically approved and our best tool to stop the spread of COVID-19, so there is no need to delay further.”
