(LITTLE ROCK, Ark.) As COVID-19 vaccination rollouts continue and the U.S. returns to a semblance of normality, Arkansas officials are warning of a third surge following a spike in cases.
Arkansas, which never issued an official stay-at-home order during the pandemic, reported 686 new probable and confirmed COVID-19 cases Wednesday the largest one-day increase in more than four months.
The state’s COVID-19 hospitalizations also rose by 19 to 325, and deaths increased by four to 5,909.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson said in a statement that “the high number of cases today makes it clear that the delta variant is increasing the spread of the virus” in the state.
