Mayor David Holt proclaimed a state of emergency in Oklahoma City due to the COVID-19 (new coronavirus) pandemic. It was authorized under Chapter 15 Article III of City Code and Title 21, Section 1321.9 of Oklahoma Statutes, and followed guidance from local, state and national public health officials. It was first put in place March 16, 2020, and modified a final time on Nov. 30, 2020. The state of emergency ended when the Mayor signed a formal proclamation on April 30, 2021.

Oklahoma City's mask ordinance expired April 30, 2021. But, like longstanding “no shirt, no shoes: no service” rights, everyone in Oklahoma City may require mask use on their own property. That includes all businesses, public and private organizations, property owners and leaseholders.

People who are lawfully asked to leave private or public spaces, but refuse, are subject to citation and arrest for trespassing. Call 911 to report it to the Police Department. Read more here.
