CONWAY — According to the state Department of Health and Human Services, as of Wednesday there were 20 actives COVID-19 cases in Conway, doubling from 10 a week ago, and there have been 722 total cases in town.
Bartlett currently has 1-4 active cases, with 152 total (up two from the previous week); Albany has 1-4 active cases, with 40 total; Eaton has zero current cases and six total; and Jackson has 1-4 at the moment, and 37 total.
With such high vaccination rates in the area, why is it we have doubled in a week? Why are we allowing visitors which are in great numbers
without some restrictions such as masks, and limited indoor seating. Most restaurants you can’t get near because they are packed. Most restaurants will not accept orders for takeout.
I fully understand that this is great for our economy and keeping many businesses afloat.
But is it helpful to the local population who live here.
