(1/4) I am grateful for our doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and other health care professionals who are on the front lines of COVID-19. As we look to the future, there will be fatigue among these individuals and an increased demand for more health care workers. (2/4) In order to expand the number of available physicians and nurses, we have taken action. The AR State Medical Board granted emergency temporary licenses to AR medical residents who have completed at least 1 year of internship. These residents’ licensing fees will be waived.

(1/4) As of today, there are a total of 165 positive COVID-19 cases in AR. This is the largest increase of cases in a 24-hour period that we’ve seen so far, and this number reflects the increase in @ADHPIO testing capacity. (2/4) The federal govt. is asking states to manage the supply chain & take the lead in procuring personal protective equipment (PPE). I have dedicated $30 million to obtain additional PPE but the total supply is not sufficient domestically.

(1/5) Today I announced that we currently have 96 positive cases of COVID-19 in AR. This affects 3 of our long-term care facilities: Apple Creek Nursing & Rehab in Centerton, The Villages of General Baptist West in Pine Bluff, and Briarwood Nursing Home & Rehab in Little Rock. (2/5) Personal protective equipment (PPE) for our health care providers is a great need in our state. I have approved an advance of $30 million to help procure, in a greater quantity & at a lower cost, these materials that we will need in the future.
