They said the State Health Department website is a clearinghouse of information about Covid-19 in Oklahoma, along with resources about symptoms, testing and prevention. There is also information about travel and about gatherings in crowds. They also said information is rapidly changing and being updated.

“It is very important for Oklahomans to know we are prepared, we have a plan. With even one case in Oklahoma, we will work toward public safety,” he said. Stitt also wanted to remind people that there have been 18,000 deaths in United States related to the flu this year. “We’ve got to keep that in perspective. We are prepared,” he said.
