Tulsa County COVID-19 Updates

On July 21, Tulsa County reached the milestone that 1 percent of residents have tested positive for COVID-19. The United States reached this milestone on July 13. To date, there have been no recent infectious diseases that have spread so rapidly as to infect 1 percent of the population in less than six months. 

For this reason, and to the protect the integrity of our local healthcare system, the City of Tulsa continues to operate under a Civil Emergency, with a mask ordinance now in effect for those over the age of 18.
