An open records request from The Oklahoman reveals the Oklahoma State Department of Health ordered $42 million on personal protective equipment, such as masks, gowns and gloves, to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
Governor Kevin Stitt says the federal government will reimburse the state 100% for the purchases.
Stitt’s so-called 'PPE Czar' Gino DeMarco says the state will probably stop looking for purchases as he says Oklahoma is in good shape for the summer and fall.
