In a Wednesday press conference meant to tout Oklahoma’s dispersal of federal COVID-19 relief funds, Governor Kevin Stitt ended up answering questions about President Donald Trump’s Saturday rally in Tulsa and a recent uptick in coronavirus cases.
Despite the risks, the campaign rally and the state’s reopening are slated to continue as scheduled.
State Health Department interim commissioner Lance Frye declined to say if the rally was a good idea. But he said if there is an uptick in cases, Oklahoma will be ready to respond.
