NEWS on COVID-19 in Oklahoma:https://www.koco.com/article/health-commissioner-voices-concerns-after-release-of-oklahomas-latest-covid-19-numbers/34882985
The Oklahoma State Department of Health reported 4,370 new cases, which is one of the highest single-day reports to date, along with 14 additional coronavirus-related deaths. So far during the pandemic, 1,874 people have died statewide due to the virus.
Following the release of the latest numbers, Frye continued his call to the community to help stop the spread.
“Though we anticipated a rise in cases following the Thanksgiving holiday, this significant jump in our infection rate is alarming. I continue to implore Oklahomans to stay vigilant in our efforts,” Frye said. “None of us can do this alone. We cannot manage this pandemic without everyone working together across the state to follow safety precautions, including the 3 W’s: Wear a mask, wash your hands and watch your distance by staying six feet away from others.”
The state’s seven-day average is now higher than 2,700. And as the numbers continue to rise, hospitals are growing more concerned.
Dr. Dale Bratzler expressed his hopes for the COVID-19 vaccine in a video released by OU Health.
"We need to see a substantial portion of the population vaccinated so we can get back to what many of us consider the old normal, which is to dramatically reduce the number of new cases that are spreading so we're not overloading our hospitals,” Bratzler said. “I'm going to highlight again – two Americans die every minute from this disease despite the level of infection we've already seen. So, for me, the vaccine is a glimmer of light at the end of a tunnel that's been pretty long.”
