The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) issued an update on the unemployment claims by Oklahomans. “We paid more claims in the first three weeks of the pandemic than OESC did during all 12 months of 2019, and the agency has paid out over $432 million in the past six weeks,” said Secretary of Digital Transformation David Ostrowe. “With that volume there are bound to be individuals who try to game the system, but this is not impeding our ability to pay legitimate claims as quickly as possible.”

OESC is working with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) and the FBI to identify possible fraud and suspicious claims. “I want to be clear, claims are being paid at an unheard of pace and our first priority is paying citizens who are due unemployment benefits," Ostrowe elaborated. "It is extremely disheartening that during this period when we should all be pulling together to help one another, that some officials want to play partisan politics and take the focus away from the job we are here to do, which is help our fellow Oklahomans.”

Now is not the time for burdensome regulations.”

The National Weather Service (NWS) and the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM) provide recommendations on how to take shelter during severe weather during the coronavirus pandemic. Officials say that social distancing during the pandemic brings complications to taking shelter during severe storms, but both federal and state officials say the main priority "should be to protect yourself from a potential tornado."

2 Works for You received the below information for an OEM official press release: "Officials recommend sheltering from tornadoes inside your home when possible. If you don’t have a below-ground storm shelter, well-constructed homes and buildings provide life-saving protection from 98 percent of Oklahoma’s tornadoes. Take shelter in a closet, bathroom, interior hallway or other interior room with no windows on the lowest level of the house or building. If your family typically takes refuge in a public storm shelter in your community, first check with your community shelter managers to ensure the shelter will still be open and if there are any special considerations to plan for due to COVID-19. Now is the time to explore the best options to keep you safer from severe weather as well as limit your exposure to the virus. Don’t wait until a tornado warning is issued to make a plan.

Wherever you choose to shelter from a tornado, take as many precautions as possible to inhibit the spread of COVID-19 as best as you can, including Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations to wear a cloth face covering and maintain social distancing. The best way to prepare for severe weather during a pandemic is to stay informed of the latest weather forecast from the NWS and local media as well as the latest recommendations regarding COVID-19 from the CDC, the Oklahoma State Department of Health, and local authorities."
