The Oklahoma State Department of Health reported on Tuesday 119 new cases of COVID-19 and five additional deaths.
The state's total number of confirmed cases now stands at 6,692.
The five deaths reported Tuesday happened between May 11 and Saturday. Four were adults age 65 or older, and the fifth was a woman between 50 and 64 years old.
Three of the five deaths were in Tulsa County, which now has 57 confirmed deaths from COVID-19, the second-highest total in the state behind Oklahoma County's 62.
In all, 339 Oklahomans have died, and 994 have been hospitalized. Of those, 124 are currently in the hospital.
There were 88 patients reported as recovered on Tuesday, bringing the total number of Oklahomans to have recovered to 5,599. Oklahoma currently has 754 active cases of COVID-19.
The health department reported Tuesday 206,116 specimens have been tested for the coronavirus. That would give the state a positive test rate of 3.2%. World Health Organization guidelines suggest positive test rates of less than 10% indicate adequate testing is being performed.
The health department is also trying to get out more information about contact tracing, as those efforts have expanded. Contact tracers will call anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 to figure out who they may have potentially infected. They notify other individuals about their potential exposure without identifying the patient.
While contact tracers may ask for information like a person's address or date of birth, they will always call from a number that shows up as "State of OK" on caller ID, and they will never ask for social security numbers, banking information or a credit card number. Contact tracers' identities can be confirmed by calling 211.
