(1/3) I have authorized 10 additional National Guard personnel to assist the AR Dept. of Health and Corps of Engineers in expanding the capacity of hospital beds in AR. This is to get ahead of the curve & make sure we don’t have to make difficult choices down the road. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m holding a news conference at 1:30pm today to provide an update on our COVID-19 response. You can watch here: https://t.co/TneBva6CeR — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

It is important for Arkansans to stay home if possible as we work to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. When it is necessary to be out of the home, be mindful in public spaces. Keep a safe distance of at least six feet from others. There is no need for crowding. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

In order for us to be successful in Arkansas in slowing the upward trend line of COVID-19, the public needs to abide by the guidance of the Arkansas Department of Health. @ADHPIO guidelines and directives can be found here: https://t.co/tFzZuRkedi — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

I am grateful for our federal delegation’s communication & support they’ve given the state, especially through the passage of the COVID-19 relief bill by the Senate. This bill provides confidence to Arkansans whose employment or small business has been affected by the outbreak. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

(4/4) The plan also proposes an additional payment of $250 a week for non-physician direct care workers and $500 a week for non-physician direct care workers who work in a facility where COVID-19 is present. Read more about this initiative here: https://t.co/rolC0F71Zr — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

(3/4) The plan includes capital improvement payments to health care facilities; financial support for workforce safety and training; and payments to expand telemedicine. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

(2/4) Health care today cannot be delivered as it was just two weeks ago. Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, residential facilities, and other licensed practitioners must now re-engineer their practice patterns to protect the lives of their patients and their employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

(1/4) Today I announced a $116M initiative that directly addresses the COVID-19 crisis & the burden on our rural hospitals & other health care providers. This proposal will provide improved access to care for citizens & will keep providers open & their workforce employed. — PolitiTweet.org

I am grateful for members of the @ArkansasGuard who have assisted @uamshealth in screening patients and administering COVID-19 tests through drive-through testing sites. They have responded faithfully to the urgent need of our state. https://t.co/yrKK6NaLx1 — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

(4/4) Also, the AR State Board of Nursing has expedited its licensing process in response to the public health emergency. 300 nurses have been licensed this month because of this. I am thankful for these boards for meeting the need and urgency of our current health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

(3/4) And the Medical Board also accelerated its overall licensing process, resulting in over 100 new AR physicians that have been licensed in the month of March. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

(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. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson

(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. — PolitiTweet.org
