Mayor Holt made the announcement Sunday at a news conference at the Oklahoma City-County Health Department (OCCHD)https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.occhd.org%2Feng&data=02%7C01%7Corval.jones%40okc.gov%7Cf99659bedef5486592c808d7c93ec0b1%7C837e0d97dd9d4d0097e688f05a32ee59%7C0%7C0%7C637199143681842659&sdata=ZagqsiHK8HoDUZcSiOyEG%2BOxAwup75WYyV40bdVOlOo%3D&reserved=0.

At least one appears to be unrelated to travel, indicating possible community spread. It would be the first instance of community spread in the Oklahoma City metro.

"Limiting close personal contact is our only real tool of mitigation, and on the advice of public health officials, and with the confirmation of local spread, we feel it is now time to do more," said Mayor Holt. "I do not proclaim this state of emergency casually, and I am fully aware of the gravity of the moment. But this is a time to protect the people of Oklahoma City."

Local public health officials underscored the necessity of the proclamation.

"This will be an important step to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the impact of this pandemic on our community," said Dr. Gary Raskob, chairman of the OCCHD Board of Healthhttps://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.occhd.org%2Feng%2Fboard-health&data=02%7C01%7Corval.jones%40okc.gov%7Cf99659bedef5486592c808d7c93ec0b1%7C837e0d97dd9d4d0097e688f05a32ee59%7C0%7C0%7C637199143681842659&sdata=Ef3C122XYxrhcbJEP2Z7C9iicXs4l1awYiN4uGXJpOA%3D&reserved=0.

Preparation

Here's a guide from the CDChttps://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fcommunity%2Fhome%2Findex.html&data=02%7C01%7Corval.jones%40okc.gov%7Cf99659bedef5486592c808d7c93ec0b1%7C837e0d97dd9d4d0097e688f05a32ee59%7C0%7C0%7C637199143682002564&sdata=y14s3gog%2BeLdNFnCYbmfHoTV9h7IbkZnJAbGsoahH4A%3D&reserved=0 about preparing your household.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Stay home and avoid contact with others when you are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Wash your handshttps://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fhandwashing%2F&data=02%7C01%7Corval.jones%40okc.gov%7Cf99659bedef5486592c808d7c93ec0b1%7C837e0d97dd9d4d0097e688f05a32ee59%7C0%7C0%7C637199143682002564&sdata=vwo6u8sd589lENBDDEukkU8rvGGeefAj0bPyAeIFUPE%3D&reserved=0 often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Try singing "Happy Birthday" twice, because that's about how long it takes. It's especially important to wash your hands after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Healthy people don't need a face mask for protection from any respiratory disease, including COVID-19. Masks are for people showing COVID-19 symptoms to prevent spreading it to others, and for health workers or others taking care of a sick person in a close setting like a home or health care facility.
Make a plan for how you and your family or business would need to adapt if schools close for a prolonged period.

Preparation

Here's a guide from the CDChttps://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fcommunity%2Fhome%2Findex.html&data=02%7C01%7CAmanda.Carpenter%40okc.gov%7C26befa1d9d6640b00dac08d7c9ce24e1%7C837e0d97dd9d4d0097e688f05a32ee59%7C0%7C0%7C637199759541146297&sdata=3TsxNsLChSW8wJMwDn4Vstw3vCveuFpVUDUobAQIVG4%3D&reserved=0 about preparing your household.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Stay home and avoid contact with others when you are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Wash your handshttps://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fhandwashing%2F&data=02%7C01%7CAmanda.Carpenter%40okc.gov%7C26befa1d9d6640b00dac08d7c9ce24e1%7C837e0d97dd9d4d0097e688f05a32ee59%7C0%7C0%7C637199759541146297&sdata=8vjG22YkKsHAwoIAWS%2B%2BDmds2srCVOdlcoepqdk4sTM%3D&reserved=0 often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Try singing "Happy Birthday" twice, because that's about how long it takes. It's especially important to wash your hands after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Healthy people don't need a face mask for protection from any respiratory disease, including COVID-19. Masks are for people showing COVID-19 symptoms to prevent spreading it to others, and for health workers or others taking care of a sick person in a close setting like a home or health care facility.
Make a plan for how you and your family or business would need to adapt if schools close for a prolonged period.

If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. * Healthy people don't need a face mask for protection from any respiratory disease, including COVID-19. Masks are for people showing COVID-19 symptoms to prevent spreading it to others, and for health workers or others taking care of a sick person in a close setting like a home or health care facility. * Make a plan for how you and your family or business would need to adapt if schools close for a prolonged period. * Be prepared, not scared.
