Oklahoma Democrats said they want Governor Kevin Stitt to issue a statewide shutdown of bars--gyms--and indoor dining at restaurants.

Representative Emily Virgin sent the governor a letter saying "without statewide action, COVID-19 will continue to spread within our communities."

They're also asking the Governor to enact a temporary suspension of evictions and utility cutoffs.

The Governor said Sunday a mandated shutdown is not on the table.
