I issued Executive Order 20-05 to leverage telehealth in AR during the COVID-19 outbreak. A doctor can now establish a new patient over the phone. This will minimize the number of sick patients in waiting rooms, which will mitigate the spread of the virus. https://governor.arkansas.gov/images/uploads/executiveOrders/EO_20-05.pdf

(2/3) Due to the COVID-19 outbreak & the changed individual tax filing deadline, the official state revenue forecast has been lowered by $353.1M. This necessitates a special session of the General Assembly to address this shortfall w/AR's $173M unallocated surplus from last year.

(1/3) The tax filing & payment deadline for individuals in AR has been extended to July 15, mirroring the fed. govt.’s amended deadline. This will provide relief & consistency for individual taxpayers. The corporate filing deadline & est. payments timeline will remain the same.

Business owners should encourage employees to protect their personal health for themselves & for the safety of others. Clean surfaces that are frequently touched, avoid meetings that require close proximity, & post the symptoms of COVID-19: fever, cough, & shortness of breath.

(3/4) We are looking at purchasing from the internatl. market, manufacturing our own, & working w/FEMA to release more of the strategic natl. stockpile to AR. While we’re working very hard on this procurement, Arkansans need to understand the current challenge that we face.
