On January 13, Governor Kevin Stitt changed his executive order to remove the 11 pm curfew so that bars and restaurants stop serving in person. This happened after a judge ruled that a temporary restraining order would run until July to allow the process to continue.
On January 12, Stitt and state officials announced new quarantine policies for personal learning.
The governor announced that teachers or students exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 will not have to be quarantined, as long as this exposure has occurred in a classroom setting and all protocols are being followed. These protocols include the use of masks, social distance and maintenance of the recommended cleaning measures.
The first COVID-19 vaccines arrived on December 14 in Oklahoma and were administered to frontline officials.
Before the first round of vaccine distribution in December, Governor Stitt issued new restrictions.
On December 10, Stitt said he planned to issue an executive order to implement more state restrictions, including limiting participation in public meetings, excluding churches and limiting participation in closed youth sporting events to 50% capacity.
As cases and hospitalizations continued to rise in November, Stitt issued new actions to help fight the spread.
On November 19, bars and restaurants will close at 11 pm for face-to-face service and tables will have to be spaced two meters away or partitions.
A masking warrant has been issued for state officials and for people who wish to access state buildings.
The state health department corrected the daily total for November 7 on November 8 and chose not to disclose new daily totals for COVID-19 from Saturday to Sunday.
Health officials said it removed duplicate cases from the total, but only reduced the total number of cases from 4,741 to 4,507, down 234.
Stitt released a statement on November 7 and asked the Oklahomans “to do the right thing” and follow the CDC’s guidelines – practice social detachment, wear a face mask and wash your hands regularly – to help slow the spread.
On September 8, the state health department said it began the transition to include the results of antigen tests in the state’s data collection and reporting system. A positive antigen test result is considered a “probable” case, while a positive molecular test result is considered a “confirmed” case.
The antigen test is a quick test that can be completed in less than an hour. Molecular tests usually take days before results are available.
On July 15, Stitt said he tested positive for COVID-19, making him the country’s first governor to test positive for the virus. He has since posted video updates about his health and quarantine.
Oklahoma reported its first virus-related infant death on July 12. The child was a 13-year-old daughter of a soldier stationed at Fort Sill.

On June 30, Stitt wore a face mask and “strongly encouraged” the Oklahomans to follow the CDC guidelines for masks.
