Gov. Stitt Announces New COVID-19 Restrictions, Pleads Oklahomans To Help

Governor Kevin Stitt announced new statewide restrictions for bars and restaurants and will require all state employees to wear a mask in state buildings.

“I need your help right now to flatten this curve. We’re all going to have to make sacrifices in one way or another, but they are sacrifices worth making,” Stitt said.

Stitt announced the new orders as the state sees a spike in new COVID-19 cases and as hospitalizations are up 19% statewide in just the last week.
