The governor is holding is daily briefing now, which you can watch here.
Hutchinson said he'll sign an executive order outlining the mandate. Violating the order would be a misdemeanor and carry a $100 fine.
The order says Arkansans should wear face coverings on the mouth and nose in all indoor and outdoor places where they are exposed to non-household members and distancing of 6 feet or more cannot be assured.

Need to take the initiative to provide, for FREE, masks to anyone who needs one.
The private sector and fed/state gov failed us. We should have had mandatory masks back in March.
It's so frustrating to know this could have been dealt with months ago.
