Crittenden County officials have confirmed a fifth positive case of COVID-19 here.
Judge-Executive Perry Newcom said a male in his 40s has been admitted to an area hospital outside of Crittenden County. The health department is tracing his contacts, which could potentially be quite numerous, the judge said.
Of the five cases that have been reported here since the pandemic started, one person has died, three have recovered and now this is the only active case.
