Delta Variant Could Cause Third Surge In Arkansas COVID Cases, UAMS Chancellor Says

Credit Governor s Office / YouTube New COVID-19 cases in Arkansas continue to climb and officials say the rapdily spreading delta variant and people not being vaccinated is the key reason why. The Department of Health reported 479 new cases Tuesday, along with eight additional deaths from COVID-19.  At his weekly press briefing Tuesday, Gov. Asa Hutchinson urged Arkansans to take safety measures when participating in 4th of July activities to stop the spread of the virus. “We have the delta variant predominant, moving into Arkansas, and we have to take that very seriously, Hutchinson said. It is more contagious, it has more consequences in terms of health, and so take care of yourself and follow the guidelines which really is social distancing, wearing a mask if you have not been vaccinated.”

Arkansas Ending COVID-19 Public Health Emergency

Credit Governor s Office / YouTube Arkansas’ current public health emergency will end in just over one week. Gov. Asa Hutchinson announced Thursday the state of emergency brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic more than a year ago is set to end on May 30. Arkansas has been under the emergency declaration since March 11, 2020, the day the state saw its first resident test positive for COVID-19. Speaking with reporters at the Capitol, Hutchinson said the move doesn’t preclude him from invoking emergency powers again if the state experiences another wave of coronavirus infections. “If we don’t get the vaccinations out, if we have a [resurgence] of this COVID-19 in the fall and we have to have emergency measures in place, we can always re-institute the emergency if need be,” Hutchinson said. “But I’m hopeful that we won’t be there. And I’d like to think that we’re not going to have that surge if everybody in Arkansas does what is needed.”
