The average number of new regular coronavirus infections in Arkansas is now 19.2 per 100,000 residents— more than double the number required to move to the yellow risk level of COVID, which suggests the lifting of stay-at-home orders. However, despite an increase in cancer cases, Governor Asa Hutchinson confirmed at a press conference on 9 July that schools are still on track to reopen at the end of August.
