OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma reported nearly 1,400 new cases of the coronavirus on Monday and 17 more deaths, state health officials said.

Overall, Oklahoma's virus cases are trending downward, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins University. Over the past two weeks, the rolling average number of daily cases has decreased by 30%, but the state's rate of new cases per capita ranks sixth in the country, according to Johns Hopkins.

One in every 241 people in Oklahoma tested positive for the virus in the past week, according to Johns Hopkins.
