More than 4,500 Louisianans have died from COVID-19 during the coronavirus pandemic. The total is now 4,546, up 50 from yesterday.
Total cases are up 1,093, to 141,720. That total may be less than that, after the Louisiana Department of Health combs through the results and removes duplicates and out-of-state cases.
