Despite a statewide lift of the mask mandate in Louisiana, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the city is still requiring people to wear masks whenever they are in public.
Cantrell stressed the need for the city to reach herd immunity from the coronavirus. More than 40 percent of New Orleanians have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Roughly 35 percent of residents are fully vaccinated. Herd immunity comes when that number reaches 75 percent.
New Orleans COVID-19 test percent positivity rate remains low at 0.8 percent. But the COVID-19 New Orleans dashboard is reporting an infection rate of 1.03 percent. When the infection rate is greater than 1, the risk of transmission rises greatly.
