Another Oklahoman — a Creek County male in his 70s — has died due to COVID-19, bringing the total deaths in the state to eight.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health confirmed Friday that positive cases of the coronavirus in the state now stands at 322, an increase of 74 from Thursday. That's a 29 percent increase in total cases.

Nearly half of Oklahoma's 77 counties are now reporting positive cases of COVID-19, with Caddo, Cherokee, Choctaw, Latimer and Pittsburg counties each now reporting cases.

Oklahoma County has the most number of cases with 94. Tulsa County has 49, Cleveland County has 39, Kay County has 17 and Creek and Pawnee counties each have 14.

The median age of COVID-19-positive Oklahomans is 58, but all age groups have seen a rise in cases.
