He tells KRMS News one of the issues for larger gatherings is the ventilation in the household.

As of Friday Morning there were 883 active cases across the 4-county region, 390 of which are from Camden, 175 from Miller, 171 from Benton and 147 from Morgan Counties.

There has been a total of 5,098 cases since March, with 4,101 who have since recovered and 99 people that have died from the virus.
