Another surge in COVID-19 cases is expected in Arkansas, but the latest forecast from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences says that’s not likely for at least another month.
Shortly after the first case of COVID-19 was identified in Arkansas in 2020, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences began using data to predict how the virus would spread in the state.
