The Governor is temporarily reinstating the indoor mask mandate effective Wednesday, until September 1.
Louisiana is #1 in new cases nationwide.
The mandate includes children 5+ and all adults. The mandate includes school campuses for all educational institutions.
2,079 of today’s reported cases are children. Almost 19% of new cases are children.
The CDC and LDH strongly recommend children 2+ – 5 also wear masks indoors as no vaccination is available for that age group.
Only 37% of the state is fully vaccinated.
