The Governor announced a presumptive case of COVID-19 in Lafourche parish tonight. Additional parishes impacted include Caddo, Iberia, Jefferson, Orleans and St. Tammany.


 

A closer glance at the Louisiana Department of Health website however, shows us that the patient likely not a resident of Lafourche parish.

 

The website notes: Additionally, patients could be hospitalized or seek medical care in a parish outside of their parish of residence.

 

The Times will continue to monitor the LDH website for updates.
