Louisiana approaches Phase Two reopening; New Orleans not so fast

The state of Louisiana may move into Phase Two of Coronavirus reopening as early as next week.

The city of New Orleans is now expected to wait a little longer to further loosen social distancing restrictions.

“In my opinion that might be a little bit premature,” New Orleans Health Director Dr. Jennifer Avegno said. “Remember we’ve always said that New Orleans has to be more careful because what happens regionally affects us more than it does a lot of other places.”

Dr. Avegno said according to the data, testing is up, new cases are down and hospital beds are available.
