"Today’s report shows some very startling numbers. We saw the largest single-day increase in hospitalizations and have eclipsed our previous high of COVID hospitalizations," Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Monday.

"There are currently only eight ICU beds available in the state. Vaccinations reduce hospitalizations."

Hutchinson will be in Clinton Monday evening for a Community COVID Conversation, an event reaching out to communities throughout the state to discuss the vaccine as the state has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the nation.

According to ADH, 90% of COVID-19 deaths since February in Arkansas were unvaccinated and 93% of hospitalizations due to the virus since February were unvaccinated.
