Kingfisher County’s official tally of COVID-19 related deaths climbed to 12 for 2020 in the Oklahoma State Department of Health’s last situation update of the year.

OSDH data Thursday showed two additional deaths reported for the county, a female in the over 65 age group and a male aged 50-64.

Recent obituaries suggest additional COVID-19 related deaths in the county that have not yet made it into the state data base.

(OSDH does not identify decedents by name and the Times & Free Press only does so when the death is confirmed by a family member.)

A total of 124 active cases were reported in the county at year’s end, with 1,357 total confirmed cases for the year and 1,221 recoveries, according to OSDH numbers for Thursday.

Data reported Dec. 31 for local zip codes include:

Cashion - 29 active cases (183 confirmed, 154 recovered).

Dover - 1 active case (74 confirmed, 2 deaths, 71 recovered).

Hennessey - 36 active cases (463 confirmed, 3 deaths, 424 recovered).
