People entering New Orleans indoor venues like restaurants and music halls will soon have to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccine or recent negative test, the mayor says. Louisiana is a virus hot spot and has among the nation's worst vaccination rates.
Louisiana has become a hot spot for the fourth surge in the pandemic, driven by both low vaccination rates across the state and the highly contagious delta variant of the coronavirus. While New Orleans’ residents are getting vaccinated at slightly higher rates than the U.S. as a whole, the vaccination rate for the entire state is one of the worst in the country.
Jennifer Avegno, the city’s top health official, implored people not to create fake vaccination cards, noting that the FBI has already arrested people who did so. Avegno, an emergency room doctor who often wears scrubs when she speaks at news conferences, spoke emotionally when asked about whether the measures announced Thursday are drastic.
