Conway, Arkansas – Fully vaccinated Arkansas teachers and students will not need to quarantine if they get exposed to Covid-19 in the next school year according to Gov. Asa Hutchinson announcement on Tuesday.
“It will minimize education loss,” Hutchinson said at a news briefing. “They will be able to stay in the classroom they will be able to continue their education.”
As of Tuesday, around 10% of school-aged students have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccines in Arkansas.
