ENID, Okla. — Oklahoma saw an increase of 1,721 new COVID-19 cases Sunday, with the Oklahoma State Department of Health reporting 19 more deaths across the state, with none of those in the Enid area.

The .9% increase in cases reported Sunday brings the overall total of cases to 195,545, according to OSDH data.

Recoveries continued to surpass the number of new cases, as 31,854 were active on Sunday, a single-day decrease of 359, and 161,955 had recovered, including 2,061 more as of Sunday.

Nationally, cases have topped 13 million, with more than half of those, 7.9 million, still active. There have been 5 million who have recovered and 266,047 who have died due to COVID-19 or a complication of the virus, according to Johns Hopkins information on the OSDH website.

There have been 1,736 Oklahomans who have died as of Sunday's data, according to the OSDH.

Deaths reported Sunday were 13 men and six women, with 16 of those 65 and older, two in the 50-64 age group and one in the 18-35 age group. Counties of residence were three in Tulsa, two each in Cleveland, Creek, Custer, Grady and Muskogee and one each in Carter, Jackson, Mayes, Oklahoma, Payne and Rogers. OSDH does not specify gender and age per county on the weekends.

Garfield County saw an increase of 40 cases Sunday, for a cumulative 3,914 COVID-19 cases, with 692 active and 3,185 recovered. Of those, 3,549 were in Enid, with 627 active and 2,887 recovered, according to OSDH.

There have been 37 deaths in Garfield County, with 35 from Enid and three from Lahoma. The discrepancy between county and city totals pre-dated the Lahoma deaths and most likely falls in the Enid count, as county numbers, more widely shared, are accurate, according to the OSDH public relations firm Saxom.

Northwest Oklahoma county case increases on Sunday also included 26 in Woodward, 11 in Blaine, 10 each in Alfalfa and Major, six in Kingfisher, three in Woods and one in Noble, according to OSDH.
