Cases of COVID-19 have begun to surge in Oklahoma with 450 new cases recorded on Thursday resulting in a 110% rise across the state. This surge also occurred ahead of President Trump's scheduled rally in Tulsa, where the city saw 82 new cases in the spike.

Before the surge in cases, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt shared his excitement for the president's visit, saying that Oklahoma had been "one of the first states that has safely and measurably reopened.”
