[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3334956, member: 6281"] Good afternoon, In an effort to ensure all state employees are up to date on current information on COVID-19, I am sharing this information from the Oklahoma State Department of Health. Thank you, John Budd [B]State Department of Health[/B] Last Friday, March 6, we announced our state’s first positive case of COVID-19, and as the situation continues to evolve, the Oklahoma State Department of Health would like to make sure all state employees are provided with the latest and most accurate information. In addition to this communication, we are communicating regularly with Agency Public Information Officers, and the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management is ready to assist agencies with continuity of operations plans. Agency Public Information Officers, and our Office of Emergency Management is ready to assist agencies with continuity of operations plans. We are fortunate to live in a state that is ranked in the top tier for public health emergency preparedness.* Oklahoma’s public health system has been on the front lines during previous outbreaks such as SARS, MERS, H1N1, and West Nile Virus, and we are prepared to respond to cases of COVID-19 with a statewide plan that is fully operational. The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) strives to empower Oklahomans through health education and resources. Due to the strong community partnerships between the OSDH, local health departments, the health care sector, and other community partners throughout the state, we are able to utilize a number of methods to communicate and provide needed health information. We are calling on you, our trusted colleagues, to help get this information out to your communities. We need you to be our ambassadors in this response effort, and we are committed to regularly arming you with facts that you can share with your family, friends and neighbors so they are also knowledgeable on how best to protect their loved ones.
