El Reno's first confirmed case of the COVID-19 virus has been identified as Associate District Judge Bob Hughey.

Hughey, who oversees the Canadian County Children's Justice Center, has been in self-quarantine at home since March 23.

“I went to the emergency room at Mercy in Oklahoma City,” said Hughey, who was suffering from respiratory issues.

Hughey said he was diagnosed with acute bronchitis but was not tested for the virus at that time.

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.
