The Shawnee News-Star The number of new COVID-19 cases continues to climb across the state, according to this week's report from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). In Pottawatomie County, 26 new cases were added — one higher than the recorded 25 last week. Shawnee reports 15 new cases compared to 10 last week and five the week before. Fortunately, no new COVID-19-related deaths have seen reported in Pottawatomie County in the past month. In March the OSDH adjusted the level of information previously reported in its daily updates. Oklahoma residents can't see much of the information previously provided over the past year; gender and age of victims are no longer available, but deaths are still being reported, along with their general location.
