Dear Friend,

This season, I am observing the recommendations of the many health officials who seek to protect lives both here in Arkansas and around the world.

These recommendations include quarantining several days before traveling, getting a COVID-19 test before you leave to best protect the safety and health of those traveling with you, and providing service to you along the way.

They also include practicing social distancing, wearing a mask on all forms of public transportation, and confirming state travel guidelines before you leave.

By staying safe ourselves, we help keep our fellow Arkansans safe as we celebrate this joyous holiday season.

I wish you, your family, and friends a very Merry Christmas and best wishes this holiday season.
