“As we enter the holiday season, we have been running an unprecedented number of COVID-19 tests for Oklahomans,” state health commissioner Dr. Lance Frye said in a statement late Thursday.
“We urge Oklahomans to continue to get tested, especially if you plan to travel or gather with anyone outside of your household during the holiday season," Frye said.
Federal funding has been used to provide more than 2 million tests statewide at no charge since the outset of the pandemic, about 515,000 since Nov. 1, the health department said.
There were a reported total of 204,048 virus cases and 1,836 deaths due to COVID-19 since the pandemic began as of Thursday, according to the department. The true number of infections in Oklahoma is likely higher because many haven’t been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected and not feel sick.
