Governor John Bel Edwards announced that based on the recommendations by the CDC and in consultation with the Louisiana Department of Health, those who are fully vaccinated no longer have to wear masks indoors except in certain situations including: educational facilities, public transit, correctional settings, and health care facilities as regulated by the Louisiana Department of Health.
Senator Bill Cassidy says he’s frustrated with how long it took the CDC to put out recommendations stating those who are vaccinated don’t have to mask up or social distance in most indoor settings.
