State Cases Top 71,000

When the Blaine County numbers were released by the Oklahoma State Department of Health, they meshed with the numbers reported by county emergency management officials.

The state numbers indicate 99 cases since the data has been kept, and 80 recovered cases. That leads to 19 active cases.

However, the county emergency management numbers are somewhat fresher because there is no delay in reporting. Those numbers show 21 active cases.

Active cases were reported around Watonga (10), Canton (8) Okeene (2) and Geary with one case. Cases are tallied by zip code so the sufferers may not be inside the town limits and could be in outlying areas.

Statewide there are 71,314 cases cumulative, up 1,091. There are no deaths reported in the past 24 hours but there are seven reports of deaths, bringing that toll to 912. There are 561 residents hospitalized.

Nationally, there have been 6,553,399 cumulative cases, up 33,826 since the last report was issued from Johns Hopkins University. There are 194,489 dead, up 418 from the last report, while there are 3,884,340 active cases, up 10,244. There have been 2,474,570 recoveries, up 23,164 since the last report was issued.
