Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente was on the Keeler Show on Wednesday discussing the largest single-day increase of COVID-19 cases in the county since the pandemic began.
Due to an increase in positive COVID-19 cases, the Oneida County and State Department of Health will be offering targeted testing for Utica residents in the 13501 ZIP code.
''Today is a call to action. We have been under a state of emergency since March 13th. If I could order another state of emergency on top of that one, I would.''
