CURRENT COMMUNITY MITIGATION LEVEL
SUBSTANTIAL TO SHELTER IN PLACE
|
|
|
The health, safety and welfare of our property owners, residents, employees, visitors and businesses are priority one for Hot Springs Village. We encourage social distancing or sheltering in place to prevent COVID19 from spreading in our community.
We also encourage supporting local businesses as can safely be achieved. Several are offering delivery services, online services, gift certificates and other creative methods to serve their customers and we applaud their efforts.
From the Board
Remember, Hot Springs Village Board Property Owners Association Board of Directors will be meeting tomorrow, April 15, for a series of three meetings. The meetings begin at 9 a.m. with the Annual Board Meeting followed immediately by a Special Board Meeting to seat the new board and elect its officers.
The meetings will not be open to in-person viewing by the public to reduce possible exposure and spread of COVID-19. The Annual Board Meeting and the Special Board Meeting will be live-streamed on the POA's YouTube channel at
https://www.youtube.com/user/HSVPOA. The third meeting is an executive session, which is open only to Association Board members and officers to complete new board member orientation.
During his daily COVID-19 update Gov. Asa Hutchinson said that he has issued two executive orders.
The first order allows first responders and front line workers to file for workman's comp if the virus puts them out of work.
The second provides immunity for health care providers in regards to the virus. This means they cannot be sued if they are working to save lives and transfer the virus.
The number of cumulative positive cases in Arkansas has risen to 1,498 cases with 32 deaths. Eighty-one people are hospitalized and 29 of those are on ventilators.
Other topics included the virus in the prison system, contact tracing and how close Arkansas is to a plateau.
