The 7-day average has nearly tied its highest level.
The state reported three new deaths from the virus, causing the 7-day average of deaths to tick up slightly again.
I don& #39;t have anything more on the people who died, total testing or the positivity rate. The state doesn& #39;t have an update today because of the holiday.
The number of current hospitalizations increased last night to 391, the highest level since mid-April. I& #39;m not sure if we& #39;ll get an EO Report tonight or not - seems like no.
Here& #39;s another way to look at the daily case reports
As I saw @KassieMcClung point out, this increase comes ahead of a holiday weekend that has health officials concerned. In OKC, officials have said the metro cannot sustain another spike on top of what we& #39;re seeing now.
For that reason, officials ask that people take precautions, especially mask-wearing and social distancing this weekend. Remember that indoor gatherings are some of the riskiest activities one can take part in
