Thursday’s COVID report from the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) indicted 800 fewer cases with higher testing than this time last week. In addition, Gov. Asa Hutchinson says the state saw a decrease in hospitalizations and ventilator usage.
Hutchinson says, “This will relieve some of the strain on our health care system, as we continue to distribute vaccine doses.”
In its Thursday update, ADH reported 2,491 new cases; 24,740 active cases; 1,295 hospitalized, which is down 67 from Wednesday; 241 on ventilators, which is down 14 from Wednesday; 42 deaths added Thursday, for a total of 4,228; a total of 264,511 cases; and 193,321 recoveries.
