Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark.) is one of seven governors—all Republicans—who have yet to issue a stay-at-home order to his citizens as a way to limit the spread of the CCP virus nationwide.

“We want to take the long-term approach to this, and you’re not going to win simply by a lockdown,” Hutchinson explained to CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, adding: “There’s a lot of hope and optimism this Easter that our tough time is behind and we’re going to be getting better.”
