County Judge’s COVID-19 Executive Order Updated Through Oct. 3
From the executive order: The pandemic novel virus COVID-19 has continued its spread across the nation, including Arkansas and Pulaski County, and while numbers fell significantly this spring, the Delta variant of COVID-19 has resulted in the exponential growth of the number of confirmed positive cases. Hospitals across the south are at or near capacity, and COVID is causing an unsustainable strain on hospitals already struggling to staff their facilities.
Therefore, County Judge Barry Hyde declared that the state of public health emergency will continue and be renewed, and this order shall continue through October 3, 2021.
