COVID-19

After the Oklahoma State Fair was cancelled last year because of the pandemic a lot of people are wondering what the requirements, if any, will be to attend this year's state fair. With the recent spike in new COVID-19 cases and Delta variant infections within the state will there be mandates or other policies in place?

Last Friday (09-10-21) LPS (Lawton Public Schools) announced that they would be reinstating their mask mandate effective today (09-13-21). LPS Superintendent Kevin Hime released a statement late last week that discussed and outlined the mask mandate and it's reinstatement

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and state legislators wasted no time firing back at President Biden's new Federal vaccine mandate. The new Federal mandate was announced yesterday (09-09-21) and will affect around 80 million plus Americans.

It's here, the wait is almost over. The official kick off to college football happens this weekend. If you're planning a trip to Stillwater or Norman to be a part of the season openers for OU or OSU they've asked that you wear a face mask while indoors and encourage the use of masks while in the stadium itself.

So now that the FDA has fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine does that change your thoughts on getting vaccinated? A lot of people were waiting for the FDA's approval before they got their vaccinations. So how about you?

Today at the Comanche County Health Department located at 1010 S.W. Sheridan Road they'll be hosting a vaccination clinic. You can walk in or make an appointment for a later date to get your first, second or third COVID-19 vaccinations.

Starting today (08-16-21) the City of Lawton is requiring social distancing at all city owned and managed buildings. Week before last they announced that they would be requiring face masks for all city employees and the general public while indoors at any city property. Most, if not all of the city's COVID-19 policies have been reinstated due to the recent increase of cases, hospitalizations and Delta variant infections.

If you were planning to make the trip to New Orleans, LA. to the Yulman Stadium for the OU (University of Oklahoma) football season opener it was just announced that you'll need proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within the past 72 hours in order to attend.

I think we've been watching too many movies.

This past Friday (08-06-21) Oklahoma District Judge Anthony Bonner Jr. ordered the state to resume the additional Federal unemployment benefits in Oklahoma that are a part of the "American Rescue Plan."

I've seen more and more posts online from people who are trying to get the basics like bottled water and are having a hard time finding it. Today I went out to several places and most were fully stocked and had more on the way.

While masks won't be mandatory will you be asking your child to wear a face mask while at school? Take the quick poll and let us know your thoughts.
