El Reno fire and police personnel have been cleared to return to work after a report from the state medical examiner showed a patient they came into contact with did not have COVID-19.

However, one confirmed case of the virus has been reported here, said Mayor and Acting City Manager Matt White.

White said the confirmed case is believed to be a male in the 55-65 age range. He said the condition of the man was not available, but he did not believe he was hospitalized, but was in self quarantine.

He said no other information was available.

The first responders were answering a reported medical call of a heart attack on Kerry Lane Tuesday night, according to Assistant City Manager Matt Sandidge.

“It was called in as a heart attack,” said Sandidge.

All five were placed in quarantine until Friday morning when city officials received the report from the medical examiner.

“They’ve all been cleared,” said White.

He said the city learned of the one confirmed case also on Friday morning.

In the Tuesday evening incident, El Reno Fire Chief Jason Duff said dispatcher notes show the victim was not breathing and was unconscious when first responders arrived. Duff said the victim was male but age was not confirmed.

“He was transported to St. Anthony’s El Reno and then picked up there by the state medical examiner’s office,” said Duff.

Because the man was reportedly running a fever, the COVID-19 check was required.
