Texarkana Arkansas Mayor Allen Brown and Miller County Judge Cathy Harrison will address the media on Thursday at 2:00 pm, as they have now created a separate Emergency Operations Center to combat the spread of COVID-19.
Officials ensure an open line of communication with the City of Texarkana, Texas and Bowie County and continue to share the joint Texarkana Corona Website at this time. Earlier today the Texarkana Joint Operations Center reported treatment of 9 positive cases from Bowie County, 2 positive cases from Miller County and 1 active positive case from Cass County. Remembering that Texarkana Texas is a medical hub for a larger region our local Health Authority, Dr. Matt Young said in an earlier address that there is well over 150 cases in our area that are being treated as “presumptive”, meaning they have not received test results to indicate otherwise at this time.
