Rural Parts Of Oklahoma Have Fewer Resources To Manage COVID-19
State and county leaders are predicting another spike in COVID-19 cases after the holidays. People who live in rural counties could be hit just as hard as bigger cities, officials said.
Cities like Tulsa may see more positive cases, but there are also more resources in an urban area to tend to the cases.
Rural counties have far fewer resources at their disposal, putting them at a disadvantage if there is a spike in COVID-19 cases. Ultimately, the fears that we had back in March are now hitting in December, Muskogee County District Attorney Orvil Loge said.
