BATON ROUGE, La. – Louisiana took one of the last steps toward a pre-COVID normalcy Tuesday as the governor announced sweeping changes to the state’s ongoing health restrictions.
Louisiana has been under some sort of emergency health order restricting various aspects of life since March 2020.
Tuesday, the governor announced the state-wide mask mandate will end and, instead, will be set by local governments.
However, the state will require masks at all schools: Early childhood education centers, k-12 campuses and colleges and universities. In addition, masks will still be required at health care facilities, on public transit, and in state government buildings.
Other changes to the state’s executive order include the following.
