UPDATED QUARANTINE GUIDELINES Governor Asa Hutchinson announced a change in quarantine policy for schools as Arkansas prepares for school next year.  "I am pleased to announce that if you are in school and you have been fully vaccinated then there will be no quarantine required if you are exposed to COVID-19.  This is very important for our parents and our students.  It means that you can continue in school and you can continue with your extracurricular activities, and this applies also to higher education in terms of their contact tracing." Governor Hutchinson said.  #LHWolfNation
