Federal Aid to Help Rural Areas Against COVID-19 Coming to Arkansas, Missouri

The Federal Government announces on Tuesday relief coming to states to assist in rural areas with COVID Testing. 

The Department of Health and Human Services makes the announcement that Arkansas will receive over $9 million and Missouri over $8 million to assist in getting access to testing and other supplies needed in rural hospitals and healthcare facilities and tailor mitigation efforts to best assist local communities. 

The aid comes as both states are facing a surge in the COVID-19 Virus, especially with the Delta Variant.
