A city in northwest Arkansas is requiring face masks to be worn in most public
places indoors to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The Fayetteville
City Council on Tuesday approved an ordinance requiring the masks be worn, with
some exceptions. The measure requires businesses to provide masks to those who
enter at minimal or no cost. The requirement comes as northwest Arkansas drives
a dramatic resurgence in virus cases in the state. The number of active cases,
those that don’t include people who have died or recovered, has increased more
than 160% in the state since Memorial Day.
