Operative words
A person who is a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 must self-quarantine (remain home) for 14 days after the date of their last exposure to the positive case.... a negative COVID-19 test during a person's 14-day quarantine does not provide an early or total release from quarantine. All persons must complete a full 14-day self-quarantine when they have been exposed to a known case.... Critical infrastructure workers may be permitted to continue work following potential exposure... They must remain in strict home quarantine for all time NOT spent at work.
Enforcement
Ark. Code Ann. 20-7-110 quarantine authority; misdemeanor under 20-7-101
