First Oklahoman tests positive for new coronavirus

(AP) Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt says a Tulsa resident who recently traveled to Italy is the first Oklahoman to test positive for the new coronavirus. Stitt made the announcement Friday at a press conference with Tulsa health officials. Tulsa Health Department Executive Director Bruce Dart said the resident is in stable condition, quarantined at home with family. He said the person was not exhibiting symptoms during the return from Italy to Tulsa International Airport on Feb. 23. The governor says there is no evidence of community spread and the risk of public exposure remains low.
