CURRENT COMMUNITY MITIGATION LEVEL 
PHASE II
Hot Springs Village continues to keep our members informed on the latest information about COVID-19 locally and in the state of Arkansas. Currently, we are continuing to follow Phase 2 Directives from the Arkansas Department of Health.
 
Information on the plans are available online at https://explorethevillage.com/members/hsv-covid-19/.


If you have been in close contact with a person who has COVID-19, a public health worker may call to let you know you've been exposed and ask you to stay at home and self-quarantine. Doing so keeps you, your family, and your community safe. Be part of the solution and help slow the spread of COVID-19.
