Despite the ongoing vaccination effort, new daily cases of COVID-19 are beginning to rise once again in parts of the United States. To date, there have been 47,702,000 reported cases of the virus nationwide — and that number is growing every day.
In the Tulsa metropolitan area, located in Oklahoma, a total of 166,879 COVID-19 cases have been reported to date. Adjusted for population, there have been 16,938 reported infections for every 100,000 people in the area — above the national rate of 14,580 cases per 100,000 people.
The higher than average per capita COVID-19 infection rate across Tulsa is being driven by a high concentration of the virus in one area in particular.
The broader Tulsa metro area comprises seven counties or county equivalents, which can include independent cities — and of them, Rogers County has the most COVID-19 cases per capita. So far, there have been a total of 16,252 infections in Rogers County, or 17,896 for every 100,000 people.
Not only does Rogers County have the most COVID-19 infections per capita in the Tulsa area, it also has more deaths attributable to the virus per capita than the metro area as a whole. There have been a total of 323 coronavirus deaths for every 100,000 people in Rogers County, compared to 283 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 across the entire Tulsa metro area.
