Coronavirus cases rise by 325 in state; Arkansas' total jumped 30% in week
The number of Arkansas coronavirus cases has increased by 325, to 9,426, according to daily figures released Sunday.
The jump was one of the sharpest reported yet, but it was less than the 450-case increase reported on Saturday.
After initially peaking and beginning to fall in April, Arkansas' daily coronavirus count swelled in May and kept rising in early June.
A week ago, the number of confirmed cases was 7,253. Since then, it has increased by nearly 30%. The 2,173 cases in a week amount to more than 300 per day. Twenty-one deaths were reported over that span.
