Situation Update: COVID-19

  • Please note that this will be the last COVID-19 situation update the OSDH will send. Data throughout the pandemic has been ever evolving, and as the PHE ends, much of this data will no longer be available or reported. Similar to other states and the CDC, the OSDH is shifting COVID-19 tracking to be more related to influenza tracking. Data that will be available can be located next week on the OSDH’s new ViralView page which tracks respiratory diseases.

  • In today's Situation Update, we are including a link to two hospital capacity reports, one outlining the number and percent of Unoccupied Adult ICU beds by region, and the other the number and percent of Unoccupied Adult Inpatient Beds by region. We want to emphasize this is a point in time count reported by hospitals to HHS. Hospital capacity numbers change on an hourly basis depending upon admissions and discharges. This data is self-reported by hospitals. Data are subject to change as facilities enter and/or update their responses.

  • The weekly Oklahoma COVID-19 Epidemiology & Surveillance Report for April 23 - 29, 2023, is now available.
  • Weekly Epidemiology & Surveillance Reports from weeks past can be found here.
  • Locate COVID-19 vaccine opportunities at vaccines.gov.
  • For more information, visit Oklahoma.gov/COVID19.
