OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma reported 613 new cases of the coronavirus on Monday and no new deaths, officials said.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health reported that the total so far of confirmed cases is at 64,220. The department said there have been 853 deaths in the state reported so far due to COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus.
The actual number of cases in Oklahoma is likely higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected and not feel sick.
The department said that as of Monday there were 9,953 active cases and 53,414 people have recovered.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and a cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death. The vast majority of people recover.
