Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the dedication and partnership of Arkansas medical professionals and state agencies in their efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 and prepare to rebuild.

Governor Asa Hutchinson recently announced the formation of the Governor's Medical Advisory Committee for Post-Peak COVID-19 Response.

Focusing on public health strategy after Arkansas reaches the peak of its COVID-19 cases, this committee is tasked to examine testing capabilities and social distancing protocols and make necessary recommendations to avoid a resurgence of cases.

This work is critical to ensuring the health and safety of all Arkansans while continuing to pave the way for the opening of our state.

On behalf of all Arkansans, I thank Governor Hutchinson, the members serving on this important committee, and all of the medical professionals and health care workers on the frontlines battling COVID- 19.
