KARK:
The number of active cases of COVID-19 in Arkansas fell below 6,000 as the Thanksgiving holiday week begins.
New data from the Arkansas Department of Health showed there were 5,971 active cases of the virus reported Monday, down 356 from the previous day.
“It’s good to see our active cases decline as we head into a holiday week,” Gov. Asa Hutchinson said in a tweet. “In the latest @UAMS_COPH COVID model, another COVID surge in Arkansas was predicted. But the good news is that surge can be slowed if we increase vaccines throughout the state.”
