9/25/2020 SITUATION UPDATE: COVID-19

(OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.) This week, nine counties moved from the "orange" risk phase to "yellow" and 13 counties moved from "yellow" to "orange". OSDH continues to monitor closely the statewide hospitalization trends for COVID-19. Due to improvements in testing availability and reporting of lab results, OSDH will now calculate the alert system by date the result was reported (rather than date of symptom onset, as previously done). This improves transparency, as the calculations can be performed with publicly available data. 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 82,520 cases of COVID-19 in Oklahoma.  There are 12 additional deaths identified to report. One death was identified in the past 24 hours.   One in Garfield County, one male in the 65 or older age group.  One in Garvin County, one female in the 65 or older age group.  One in Marshall County, one male in the 65 or older age group.  One in Muskogee County, one female in the 65 or older age group.  Two in Oklahoma County, one female and one male in the 65 or older age group.    Two in Ottawa County, one female and one male in the 65 or older age group.   One in Pushmataha County, one female in the 65 or older age group.  Three in Tulsa County, two females and one male in the 65 or older age group.  There are 993 total deaths in the state.
