Since the start of the pandemic, Arkansas recorded a total of 537,461 cases. The total number of deaths is 8,831.
Currently, there are 8,393 active Covid-19 cases across Arkansas which is 431 more compared to the day before.
Eleven people more were hospitalize and now the total number of hospitalizations is 471. There are 98 people on ventilator support, which is 3 more compared to Thursday.
