The number of those affected and hospitalized with COVID-19 are continuing to drop.
But is Louisiana out of the woods yet?
So far 100 fewer patients than on Friday, 1,761 are hospitalized.
Patients on ventilators dropped over the past 24 hours from 363 patients to 347.
The good news is social distancing is continuing to work.
But are we pushing to get back to normal too fast?
The answer is in the number of deaths, which has remained steady: 54 dead since Friday, showing we are on a plateau of mortality from the disease.
WWL-TV broke down the numbers from the most affected areas:
- Orleans: 5,906 cases, 317 deaths
- Jefferson: 5,476 cases, 269 deaths
- East Baton Rouge: 1,424 cases, 66 deaths
- St. Tammany: 961 cases, 66 death
- St. John: 623 cases, 50 deaths
- St. Charles: 471 cases, 26 deaths
- Terrebonne: 293 cases, 18 deaths
- Lafourche: 542 cases, 21 deaths
- Tangipahoa: 435 cases, 18 deaths
- St. James: 216 cases, 14 death
- Plaquemines: 152 cases, 11 deaths
- St. Bernard 404 cases, 11 deaths
- Washington: 184 cases, 11 death
Despite calls to restart the economy, the number of major events in scheduled for the New Orleans area continues to climb. But, Governor John Bel Edwards says Louisiana will not wait until things are "back to normal" to open the economy, and has created a commission to plan on doing so slowly and safely.
