Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) said on Wednesday that he has tested positive for the coronavirus<\/a> but feels \u201cfine\u201d and will be isolating.<\/p>\n

Stitt is the first governor to announce a coronavirus infection, though other governors have self-quarantined or gotten tested after potential exposure. Stitt, who has resisted recommendations from public health officials throughout the pandemic, said he does not know where he got infected but does not believe his positive result could have stemmed from his attendance at President Trump\u2019s campaign rally in Tulsa on June 20<\/a>, where the governor was photographed without a mask.<\/p>\n

Stitt drew fresh criticism as Trump\u2019s rally in Tulsa \u2014 the president\u2019s first since the pandemic set in \u2014 approached in June. Local health officials warned the indoor event at a 19,000-person arena could cause a dangerous spread of the virus in a county that was already seeing a spike in cases.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
