Mayor urges shelter order

[LiberalArkie]

Harrison Mayor Jerry Jackson on Tuesday sent a letter to Gov. Asa Hutchinson asking him to strongly consider an order requiring people to shelter at home.

Governors in many other states in the union have issued shelter-at-home or stay-at-home orders.

In his letter, Jackson wrote:

“As the Mayor of the City of Harrison, I have watched as COVID-19 has spread all across Arkansas. So far, Harrison has two confirmed cases of COVID-19 with on additional case in Boone County, but given the increase in cases across the state, and two in our small county in the last two days I am concerned for the health and well-being of our citizens. While we have made efforts to educate our area and promote the importance of social distancing, we continue to see people not adhering to those recommendations throughout our community.

1. Im a bit south of Harrison

I took a drive up hwy 7 last week and there were so many people at remote campsites/parks. License plates from all over. I wonder where they all went after the parks were closed?

The "head for the hills" horn has been blown.
