Watch live or later on @facebook - Mayor LaToya Cantrell, @instagram & @twitter. @nolaready @nolahealthdept : Compared with other counties across the country, we have one of the highest infection rates per capita, behind only a handful of counties in the New York City metro area. That’s partially due to the amount of testing we’re doing—more per person than most other states. What the numbers do tell us is that there is substantial community spread of #COVID19 and that each of use should act as if we have been exposed. That’s why it is so incredibly important to continue to stay home right now. Within weeks, we will run out of hospital beds. The @CityOfNOLA is working with @LouisianaGov on hospital surge plans.
