There have been 85,673,400 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States to date – and that number continues to grow.
In the Texarkana metropolitan area, which covers parts of Texas and Arkansas, a total of 33,678 cases of COVID-19 have been reported. Adjusted for population, there have been 22,447 confirmed infections for every 100,000 people in the area — below the national rate of 26,186 cases per 100,000 people.
Even though Texarkana has fewer COVID-19 infections per capita than the national average, there are parts of the metro area that appear to be at higher risk than others.
