Our kids are going back to school right now and theyre relying on information, and...Oklahoma is still shown as a red or at-risk state. It puts us all at risk if were not given this information, especially those in healthcare and education. #OklaEd

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) White House reports focused on recommendations specifically for Oklahomas COVID-19 response have, until this week, been withheld from local health officials across the state. The most recent report states Oklahoma needs a statewide mask mandate and that bars must close.
Were truly disappointed that Gov. Stitt and our leadership hasnt shared information, said Dr. George Monks, president of the Oklahoma State Medical Association.
He and other local health officials have expressed frustration that White House Coronavirus Task Force reports, and information from Dr. Deborah Birxs visit to the state Sunday, have not been shared with the public, or even those who make public health decisions.
