Deaths In Oklahoma Nursing Homes Reaches Grim Milestone

The COVID-19 death toll in Oklahoma nursing homes and long-term care facilities has topped one hundred.

The most deaths come from the Bartlesville Health and Rehabilitation Community with 15 and the Grove Nursing Center with 13.

The state is seeing success in procedures to control the spread of the coronavirus in senior centers, as most of the 600 such facilities in Oklahoma are reporting no cases of COVID-19.

The Health Department reports 630 residents and 292 staff have been infected with a total of 102 deaths.
