This page is designed to help employers and our workforce in Oswego County respond to the challenges of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

We need to take steps to keep jobs and businesses going, as well as protect health in the community. Information is changing often, and updates will be made here as needed. We ask readers to rely on official sources first and foremost, some of which is posted here, in addition to OOC’s recommended steps.

Note that entry to the OOC office is by appointment only. We have installed a service window in our vestibule. Please wear your mask when entering the vestibule to use the service window.
