.@LouisianaGov: 'I know everybody wants to enjoy Mardi Gras, but what we do is going to determine how long this lasts. So encouraging everyone to do single most important thing you can do and that is get vaccinated and boosted. Wear your mask ... work remotely if possible' #lagov

.@LouisianaGov: 'Best possible protection is being vaccinated and boosted' #lagov

.@LouisianaGov: 'Is omicron less virulent. Yes. But there are an awful lot of people severely sick (more than 2,000 hospitalized) ... so that's clearly not the case across the board.' #lagov

'More than 35K reinfections since this surge,' @LouisianaGov says #lagov

.@LouisianaGov on possible peak: 'We're not there net as evidenced by record number of cases yesterday (17,592)' #lagov #lalege #covid

Louisiana Public Health Officer @JoeKanter up now: 'Yet another week of truly explosive case growth in numbers we've never seen before.' #lagov

'There's no tangible signs yet of slowing down,' @JoeKanter says #lagov
