Update for Wednesday, March 3

Oklahoma reported 747 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday. The state’s cumulative number of cases is 425,747, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Health.

The health department reported on Wednesday that it will change the way it reports COVID-related deaths. OSDH will use a number of temporary deaths so that state-reported deaths reflect those of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and show a more timely picture of the impact of the disease in Oklahoma.

Prior to Wednesday, there was a difference of nearly 2,500 between the number of deaths reported by OSDH and the number reported by CDC. The number of provisional deaths on Wednesday was 7,035.

The provisional number of deaths provided by the CDC is based on death certificates. From OSDH: “As cases increased by the end of 2020, our investigating epidemiologists began to encounter more incomplete records that required further investigation. This process subsequently caused a growing gap between the number of deaths in the OSDH. “

“We believe that now is the right time for us to make this transition in our reporting system so that there is no perception that we are minimizing these deaths,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Jared Taylor. “We recognize that each of these deaths is a tragedy and a great cost to that individual’s family and friends, to the state of Oklahoma and to the world.”
