RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. (News release) — Pope County Judge Ben Cross and Russellville Mayor Richard Harris released a news release today to the people of Russellville and Pope County after it was made known that a resident in Russellville who had tested positive for COVID-19 held a house party over the weekend.


Over the weekend, a party was held at a residence within the city limits of Russellville in which an individual under quarantine for suspected COVID-19 resided. This individual has since been confirmed positive. A disregard for the welfare of others in a situation of this type cannot be underestimated. The Arkansas Department of Health will be conducting an investigation and will be contacting those known to be in attendance and direct them as to the appropriate measures that must be taken to protect themselves and the public from the spread of the virus.


The Governor of Arkansas has issued a directive banning congregations of 10 or more people, it is expected that individuals in our community will adhere to this guidance. The spread of the COVID-19 virus in our community can only be constrained if we take the appropriate actions to prevent spread.”


What will it take for Hutchinson to issue a stay at home order?

The Mayor of Gurdon (Clark County) closed the city park after a party in the park last week attended by in excess of sixty persons, including children.

Apparently, not everyone in Gurdon has good sense.

They all put their friends, families, neighbors, and community at risk.





Asa's gonna need to issue a stay at home. Our numbers may be low now, but idiots like this are gonna cause local spread.
