The youngest are struck with the variant of Delta, warned the governor
Bash asked Hutchinson if he was worried about a third overvoltage and mask mandates could be implemented. "The solution is the vaccinations," said Hutchinson, "and Dr. Patterson was with me at my weekly press conference and emphasized the points he has made to encourage people to be vaccinated. And in fact, We have done very well in our 65-year-olds, over the age of 65, to be vaccinated, our retirement home residents and our staff have a high vaccination rate, but they are our youngest adults who get Now strike with the variant of Delta, which is more contagious, has more serious consequences. And it is the concern caused an increase in hospitalizations. "
The Delta variant is dangerous, warned the governor
"What we saw is that as the variant of Delta, it is an increase in vaccination rates and that we want to accelerate that," Hutchinson said. "It is therefore a big concern. Today we celebrate the Independence Day. We have an Arkansas Pops on the river concert, celebrating this great day, but we also have vaccinations that will be available for everything The world. And that's the kind of thing we focus on, making it accessible, ensuring that everyone knows the need, because we are at a race against this variant of Delta, which spreads very quickly and That every state could be confronted with that. So we have to get these vaccinations out. "
The governor warned that we are in a "breed" against the variant
Will there be a third increase? "Wait and see," Hutchinson said. "I do not think so. I think our vaccination rate is sufficient that we can avoid overvoltage of hospitalizations that endangers, but it remains to be seen." In the race against the variant, "if we stopped here and that we did not have a greater percent of our vaccinated population, which we will have problems during the next school year and winter. We So want to move from the front of this curve, working very hard to do it. "
The governor stated that his condition was "rural" and "conservative" and so there is hesitant
"In a rural state, in a preservative state, there is hesitant and try to overcome that," Hutchinson said. "We had the first vaccines because people were anxious. They were in a very vulnerable population. Our cases have slowed considerably and that slowed vaccination, right?" But after that, the urgency diminished. And now, he gathers again. One of the things we are going to focus on working with our employers. They are really one of the keys - obviously, health professionals are the most reliable, but employers have the opportunity to make it accessible for them, give them time paid employees and they can go to vaccination and encourage them with the right level of education and information. These are the types of strategies that I think make a difference in the coming days. "
