The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Center for Health Statistics reported 69 additional deaths due to the coronavirus on Monday. No further details were provided.
Recently, the state announced it would no longer report death statistics and rather begin using a Provisional Death Count from the CDC and NCHS in its daily updates. That number reflects COVID deaths based on death certificates. Prior to that, Oklahoma's reported death count was about 2,500 deaths shy of what the CDC was reporting.
Under the new standard, there have been a total of 7,555 deaths due to the virus since last March.
310 new infections were also reported, for a total of 432,793 positive cases since March 2020. In the past seven days, Oklahoma has reported 3,631 new cases for an average of 519 infections per day.
416,227 people — more than 96 percent of the total cases — have since been classified as having recovered from the virus.
There are 11,865 active cases in the state.
