leadership also monitors COVID-19 variables in the state of Arkansas and
locally (Faulkner and Pulaski Counties). Two important indicators are the
number of new cases and testing positivity, which indicates how widespread the
disease is in the area.

*On February 28, the Arkansas Department of Health added
2,932 previously unreported, positive cases. Even though these cases are not
the result of testing on February 27, they do show as a peak in this chart. It
will take two weeks for this data anomaly to work through our dashboard
reporting.
