OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Oklahoma State Department of Health officials say the number of coronavirus cases in the Sooner State continues to increase.

The state has 8,231 cases as of Sunday, according to OSDH.

But the state does not have any additional deaths in the past 24 hours. There have been 359 total deaths so far.

OSDH data shows that there are an additional 158 cases. Sunday’s total is a 2 percent increase from Saturday.

So far, 6,578 people in Oklahoma have recovered from the virus.

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.

Instead, the Oklahoma State Department of Health identifies a person as recovered if they are currently not hospitalized or deceased and it has been 14 days since the onset of their symptoms or since they were diagnosed.

The report also shows that there have been 1,111 total hospitalizations since the virus broke out in March.

There have been 2,074,526 COVID-19 cases and 115,436 coronavirus deaths in the United States so far. There have also been 556,606 recoveries from the virus.

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.
