TULSA, Okla. — The state of Oklahoma now has a confirmed case of the COVID-19 coronavirus, Gov. Kevin Stitt and health officials announced Friday during a news conference in Tulsa County.

The case was reported in Tulsa County, and the patient is a man in his 50s who recently traveled to Italy. He returned through Tulsa International Airport on Feb. 23. He started showing symptoms Feb. 29, at which time the state Health Department became involved.

The man currently is being quarantined at home, Stitt said, and public health officials are closely monitoring suspected cases.

Stitt emphasized the state’s preparedness in dealing with the virus and noted that far more people have died from the flu this year than the coronavirus.

4. Yep, if he infected an airport screener, then that airport screener can infect lots more.

Not good. This is how a disease spreads exponentially. Our modern transportation system is great at transporting more than just people. Airplanes are probably worse than cruise ships for this. The small space with re-cycled air.
