Stuck in Phase Two

Louisiana will remain in Phase 2 of the coronavirus recovery but for how long is not certain at this time.  Governor John Bel Edwards told 107.3 talk radio in Baton Rouge of the extension this morning.  The story is also being reported by New Orleans media outlets.

The Governor did not say how long this next extension will last.  As of 1 pm Tuesday, the Governor has not issued a statement to the public concerning the Phase Two extension.  That order requires masks be worn by people in public and in businesses, requires six-feet social distancing, limits most businesses to 50 percent of normal capacity, and requires bars to remain closed.
