Multiple Cities Issue Safer At Home Orders

Several cities have adopted Safer at Home orders this week, but Tahlequah’s curfew is the most strict policy so far.

The curfew went into effect at midnight, forcing essential businesses--except hospitals--to close between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

City leaders told News On 6 the public safety curfew will allow police to watch out for people who are hanging around in groups, such as at convenience stores.

Owasso’s City Council voted Wednesday to implement a Safer at Home order, and it went into effect at midnight; it’s similar to the ones adopted in cities like Tulsa and Jenks.

Bartlesville leaders are also considering a similar order, and they plan to vote on it next week.
