Officials with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced yesterday that several staff members in the licensing division of its Baton Rouge headquarters have either tested positive for COVID-19 or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus.
The department said in a statement on Tuesday that LDWF is taking every precaution to protect the public and following all safety guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control and the Louisiana Department of Health.
The licensing office remains open to the public but officials encourage residents to purchase or renew licenses online or through a vendor to help avoid delays at their headquarters.
