OKLAHOMA CITY -
Hope is on the horizon for residents in long-term care facilities. According to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, the infection rate for COVID-19 in long-term care facilities is going down.
“We really are entering a stretch of time where the state stabilization in long-term care is occurring. Vaccinations have done very well for our residents and we feel very good about this moment,” Steven Buck, the CEO and President of Oklahoma Care Providers said.
In Oklahoma, more than half of long-term care residents have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine.
Buck said in Oklahoma County more providers can do lobby visitations.
