OSDH Releases New Weekly Epidemiology and Surveillance Report for COVID-19
The Oklahoma COVID-19 Weekly Report released Friday provides data collected, April 17-23, and includes a comparison to data collected the previous week along with an explanation of updated case definitions, demographics and more. OSDH Interim State Epidemiologist Aaron Wendelboe directed the project with a team of epidemiologists who collected and analyzed the data.
“This report provides us an outlet to share more in-depth information with the public,” said Wendelboe. “It provides a summary of what we observed during the week while adding information about new updates and guidances. We hope this information will help provide insight to the epidemiology involved with this response.”
Information provided in the report includes:
- Confirmed cases
- Probable cases
- Recovered cases
- Hospitalizations and deaths
- Demographics by race, age and gender
- Specimens tested
- Comorbidities/chronic conditions
- Affected populations in settings such as long term care and correctional facilities
The OSDH will continue to publish the report on a weekly basis as long as COVID-19 continues to be prominent in the state. Updated reports released in the future will be available here. For more information about COVID-19 in Oklahoma, visit coronavirus.health.ok.gov.
