This is higher than we want, but it is good news to have fewer hospitalizations and a significantly reduced number of new deaths. In January we tested over 400,000 Arkansans. That is equivalent to over 10% of our population. https://twitter.com/AsaHutchinson/status/1355620795079417856/photo/1 3 4 Arkansas AR Asa Hutchinson R AsaHutchinson
