State COVID-19 Totals Continue To Climb: 8,231 Infections Now Confirmed

The Oklahoma State Department of Health reported Sunday that 158 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 bring the state's total number of confirmed infections to 8,231. No new deaths were reported; 359 Oklahomans are confirmed to have died from complications caused by the novel coronavirus.

Tulsa County had 39 of the new reported cases, bringing the county total to 1,564 confirmed infections since the start of the pandemic. 62 Tulsa County residents are known to have died.

6,578 Oklahomans are reported to have recovered. 

The Tulsa Health Department said in a statement Friday that the current increase in cases is linked to large indoor gatherings. Last week, Oklahoma and Tulsa County both broke all-time records for new infections.
