During Tuesday's coronavirus response briefing, Governor Asa Hutchinson discussed the spike in community transmitted cases in St. Francis County, which is also home to a federal corrections facility in Forrest City. He also announced Arkansas will be receiving a supply of a new drug called Remdesivir that has been used to treat severe cases of COVID-19. The governor said he is also sending a cease and desist letter to a music venue in Fort Smith that had been planning to go ahead with a concert Friday, three days before the state is supposed to ease guidelines on indoor event venues.
