OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – There are 2,882 new cases of COVID-19 in Oklahoma, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
That brings the total number of COVID cases reported in Oklahoma since the pandemic began to 389,472.
43 more people in Oklahoma have died from COVID-19, bringing the state’s coronavirus death toll to 3,547.
There are 676 new active cases in the state, bringing the total number of active cases to 29,539.
2,163 more people in Oklahoma have recovered from COVID-19, bringing the total number of recoveries to 356,386.
Although the CDC recommends patients be tested twice to determine if they have recovered, health department officials say they are preserving tests for patients who are sick.

State officials urge Oklahomans to stay away from ill patients and to frequently wash their hands. Also, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
At this point, Americans are urged to practice ‘social distancing’ by staying in their homes as much as possible and not going out into a crowd.
The virus is mainly spread from person-to-person, and symptoms usually appear two to 14 days after exposure. Officials stress that the most common symptoms are fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
If you do become sick, you are asked to stay away from others. If you have been in an area where the coronavirus is known to be spreading or been around a COVID-19 patient and develop symptoms, you are asked to call your doctor ahead of time and warn them that you might have been exposed to the virus. That way, experts say, they have the ability to take extra precautions to protect staff and other patients.
