The latest report on Red River Parish COVID-19 cases, as reported by the Louisiana Department of Health, shows there are 96 confirmed cases of the virus in the parish.  There have been 9 deaths from the virus.  And there have been 1245 tests performed.

For the first time in the parish, information has been presented that the count may not reflect the true number of individuals who have contracted the virus.  Parish Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security, Shane Hubbard said the information they receive on a daily basis would dispute the LDH total.

Here is the statement from the parish office of homeland security:

From homeland security parish 
Red River Parish COVID numbers. 

Red River Parish COVID count numbers from LDH is at 96. We receive a cumulative list each day of individuals that has tested positive. If an individual gets tested more than once to get a negative result in order to return to work and that test comes back positive that test is showing up as another COVID count number not back to the same individual. Sometimes these individuals take 1 to 4 test and have multiple positives come back and those test results are being counted in the list as a new person. 

We have taken these multiple count instances out and it brings the Red River Parish count to 58 not 96.
