LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson says residents must
manage the risk of the coronavirus as the state reopens during the pandemic,
even as the number of cases increase. He told Fox News Sunday that “it doesn’t
diminish the seriousness in which we take it, but we have to manage the risk,
grow our economy.” The Arkansas Department of Health says the number of new
coronavirus cases in Arkansas increased Sunday by 147 to 5,922. The state has
reported 116 deaths. The state has been rolling back coronavirus restrictions on
businesses in recent days. Pools and water parks were allowed to reopen Friday,
and freestanding bars can resume service on Tuesday.
