Orphaned references in 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Arkansas

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Arkansas's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

New section heading for Government Response

I would like to move the subsections that involve state and local government (currently under "Impact") to a "Government Response" section. The "response" of government entities usually involves decrees and ordinances, and is a bit different than "impact" of the pandemic that is felt by entities such as universities, businesses, and sports. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FloeEdge (talk • contribs) 23:52, 7 July 2020 (UTC) FloeEdge (talk) 00:18, 8 July 2020 (UTC)FloeEdge (talk) 00:19, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of other impact subsections.

I also plan to add these additional subsections to the "Impact" section: Impact on religion, and Impact on education/schools (and move the public universities entry to this subsection. FloeEdge (talk) 00:40, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
