MAYOR CANTRELL ISSUES STATEMENT ON SECOND FATALITY IN LOUISIANA FROM COVID-19 VIRUS

 

NEW ORLEANS — Mayor LaToya Cantrell today issued the following statement: 

 

“The news this morning of a second death in Orleans Parish is deeply heartbreaking to me, personally — and is additional tragic news for the people of our City,” said Mayor Cantrell. “The patient in this instance was a friend of mine, but every one of those impacted by this outbreak is someone’s friend, someone’s father, someone’s loved one. Our people are being hurt by this, and we all have a role to play in trying to keep them safe. Keep these victims and their families in your prayers, and in their name, for their sake: fight the spread. Stay home, don’t gather in large groups, and listen to our public health authorities.”
