On Monday, OSDH announced that the agency will no longer be able to publish COVID-19 data by city, zip code, or by long-term care and nursing home facility due to the State’s Catastrophic Emergency Declaration expiring on May 31, 2020. For more information on this change, please click here.

OSDH released a Contact Tracing Overview document explaining the purpose of contact tracing in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and informing the public on what to expect when contacted by a health department contact tracer. A copy of the full contact tracing release can be found here.

COVID-19 testing sites are open in multiple cities in Oklahoma as a result of a cross-county, city and state health system partnership. Visit this page for updated dates and locations.
