It's a measure to deal with a lot of people showing up to watch the eclipse, of which the path of totality goes directly through Arkansas.
So, if suddenly a lot of people show up in an area that's not prepared to handle them, it can cause a lot of problems and stress the infrastructure. It's the type of thing and any decent government should do before an event that brings in an unusual crowd.

My daughter was in Utal on October 14, 2023 and she filmed a solar eclipse. No fear then.

The 1st one is the annular solar eclipse of 2023. The 2nd is the total solar eclipse that's happening Monday.

All this for a Solar Eclipse, but wear a mask for a pandemic is govt overreach. How very 'woke' of Huckabee-Sanders.
