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 Latoya and the NO Council are being similarly proactive for Orleans.

Mayor Cantrell could not be reached for comment but she was witnessed downtown expressing her dismay.

It's an hour later than it was a couple of weeks ago. Corona is getting more night-owlish as time goes on, apparently.

If they cared about the bars, they could have simply voted to issue temporary restaurant licenses to all without making them jump thru hoops.
