At a special meeting Monday afternoon, the Jefferson Parish Council approved a resolution to allow the parish's bars to reopen as early as Wednesday. The vote was 6-0; Councilman Byron Lee was absent.

The resolution acknowledges statewide "gating criteria" that require that in order for bars to open, the Department of Health must have two consecutive weeks of 5% or below positive rate on coronavirus testing for the parish.

According to the most recent data, Jefferson Parish's positivity rate for the week of Sept. 3-9 was 3.8%.

Under the terms of the resolution, Jefferson Parish will "opt in" to reopening its bars "at the moment Louisiana Department of Health posts a positivity rate of 5% or below for two consecutive weeks for Jefferson Parish."

I'm sure JBE will find a batch of tests from April/May to push JP's rate up for this week.

Jefferson parish voted for JBE in 2019, due to suburban emotional white gop women associating rispone with the mean orange twitter man.


I hope the parish suffers unimaginable economic pain for years to come

I love that JP is being proactive about this and supporting their business owners.

Most bars are already open, but this will make it easier for those that were still not
