As coronavirus infections surged in Oklahoma, its governor said on Wednesday he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus, becoming the first of the 50 U.S. state governors to announce testing positive.

The number of U.S. cases in the South and West has spiked since local officials started loosening economic and social restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the virus. Across the country, new cases are now averaging around 60,000 a day.

“I got tested yesterday for COVID-19 and the results came back positive,” Stitt said in a video conference call with reporters. “I feel fine, really, I mean you might say I’m asymptomatic or just slightly kind of a little bit achy.” Since the Tulsa rally, coronavirus cases in the surrounding county have risen to over 5,200 - a 219% increase over the last four weeks, according to a Reuters analysis. Eight staff on Trump’s campaign tested positive around the time of that event.The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation model late on Tuesday projected the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 would pass 224,000 by Nov. 1, up 16,000 from a prior forecast.

Stitt encourages Oklahomans to wear face masks but he rarely wears one in public himself and has not issued a statewide mask mandate.
