Gov. John Bel Edwards will hold his weekly news conference on Wednesday, May 5, to provide the latest on Louisiana’s response to COVID-19.
The media briefing is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m.
The Louisiana Department of Health recommends that the public follow the “Two out of Three” rule to keep themselves safe during COVID. When in doubt about whether to wear a mask at a certain activity where people outside of a person’s everyday household will be present, they can stay safe by making sure everyone around them is vaccinated, or maintaining the 2 out of 3 Rule.
Residents can call the Bring Back Louisiana COVID-19 vaccine hotline at 1-855-453-0774 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. The hotline can help residents schedule vaccine appointments, find vaccine providers in their area and connect people with medical professionals who can answer vaccine-related questions.
