OUR CURVE IS FLATTENING & we are making great progress in Oklahoma, but now is not the time to take our foot off the gas. What we do over the next two weeks will significantly impact what we can do after April 30. 
I extended my Safer at Home order until May 6 to continue to protect our vulnerable populations. While overall data trends look positive, we know this virus can be deadly. We need to keep practicing #SocialDistancing, washing hands frequently & limiting trips outside of our home.
Elective surgeries will be able to resume starting on April 24th. We suspended them to protect hospital beds in case of a surge & to protect PPE for our healthcare workers treating #COVID19 patients. Based on our data, we now feel confident about our hospital numbers & PPE.
Additionally, my team is working with @HealthyOklahoma on a plan to safely & responsibly re-open businesses across our state while continuing to prioritize the health & safety of all Oklahomans.
Oklahoma, there is light at the end of the tunnel & we will get through this together. But for now stay home, stay safe & stay strong.
