Photographs and screenshots depict Gov. Kevin Stitt throughout the pandemic, from March through November. Early in the pandemic, Stitt was rarely seen with a mask. He showed up at press conferences and events, like a tour of a shopping mall reopening in May, wearing no mask. In June, he announced via video stream that he had tested positive for COVID-19. Later that month at a press conference, he encouraged Oklahomans to wear a mask and pulled his neck buff over his face. He then removed it and continued speaking. Since then, he often appears in public with a mask, though it is not always covering his face. (Oklahoma Watch)
