Oklahoma health officials report 352 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed on Friday.
One more Oklahoman has died due to the virus, increasing the state's death toll to 367. The state also released details of the two Oklahomans that died yesterday. They are as follows:

  • One in Muskogee County, a male in the 65 and older age group.
  • One in Tulsa County, a male in the 65 and older age group.

The 352 case increase since Thursday means the total positive cases of the coronavirus in the state now stand at 9,706. That's nearly a four percent increase in total reported cases.
Oklahoma has totaled 1,858 new cases of the coronavirus in the past seven days, an average of 265 per day.
