One area official believes that the surge in COVID-19 and the Delta Variant could lead Arkansas to rethink COVID Protocols.

Boone County Judge Robert Hathaway discusses that during an appearance Wednesday on KHOZ’s “Around the Table” program.

Judge Hathaway urges people to get vaccinated and to help get this surge under control and keep from having to reinstate things like mask requirements. He also reminds area residents that vaccines are readily available in the area through North Arkansas Regional Medical Center and other providers.

The complete interview can be found on the "Around the Table" Facebook page.
