Mayor LaToya Cantrell and representatives from a few krewes will hold a press conference Tuesday, Dec. 21 to announce parade routes and changes for the upcoming Mardi Gras season.
New Orleans is leading the state in new Omicron cases.
Health officials on Monday warned that another surge may be underway.
The city is also facing a police manpower shortage, which could lead to shorter parade routes.
The press conference is scheduled for Dec. 21 at 11 a.m.
In a press conference last week to expand the city’s vaccine mandate to include children ages five and up, Cantrell said her office will consider re-implementing an indoor mask mandate as Mardi Gras approaches.
