Louisiana hit another record-high day for COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations on Tuesday.
Cases and hospitalizations are on a near-vertical rize in the state as the fourth surge of the coronavirus pandemic accelerates.
Gov. John Bel Edwards called the numbers “increasingly scary.” Louisiana has the fastest-growing number of cases per capita of any state in the U.S. The nation is now recording the highest number of new COVID-19 cases in the world,
The state health department saw over 6,700 cases of COVID-19 reported in one day, the second-highest single-day case count since January, when the pandemic was at its peak.
Another 169 people were hospitalized in a single day the largest daily increase in hospitalizations since March of 2020, when the coronavirus first struck and made a global hotspot of Louisiana.
