SITUATION UPDATE: COVID-19

On August 13, Commissioner Frye issued a Public Health Advisory  with the support of Governor Kevin Stitt asking Oklahomans to participate in the following recommendations for the next four weeks to continue to drive down positive cases and help schools open safely:

• • Orange and Red counties: Individuals age 11 and older wear face coverings in public settings, with exemptions including while eating at a restaurant, in a private office space, or at a religious ceremony where physical distancing can be achieved.
  • Orange and Red counties: Restaurant staff wear face coverings and tables should maintain six feet of distance or more.
  • Statewide: Individuals age 11 and older wear face coverings when visiting nursing homes, long-term care facilities, retirement homes, medical facilities, prisons, or other communal living facilities.
  • Statewide: With the “Safer in Oklahoma” policy, individuals entering the State of Oklahoma from an area with substantial community spread, will wear a face covering in all public spaces and limit participating indoor gatherings for 10-14 days in accordance with CDC guidelines.

• This week, there are 7 additional counties in the “orange” risk phase. OSDH continues to monitor closely the statewide hospitalization trends for COVID-19.
• The COVID-19 Alert map will be updated every Friday in the Situation Update at 11:00 a.m. This week’s map can be seen in this update below the test results chart.
• As OSDH continues to meet with stakeholders across the state, the COVID-19 Alert Map is subject to further revisions as science and public health guidance advances with the ongoing pandemic.

As of this advisory, there are 67,642 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Oklahoma.

Kay County has had a cumulative total of 401 confirmed cases, with 13 deaths.

Osage County is reporting 724 confirmed cases, also resulting in 13 deaths.

There have been 888 total deaths in the state attributed to the virus.

• There are 13 additional deaths identified to report. One death was identified in the past 24 hours.
  • One in Garfield County, one female in the 65 or older age group.
  • One in Kay County, one male in the 50 – 64 age group.
