Occupancy restrictions on most business in most of Louisiana are being lifted today, with one major exception: the city of New Orleans.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell has consistently kept a stricter set of rules in place. Cantrell says her administration will assess the governor's guideline, but the city will continue to issue its own proclamations.
"We will thoroughly assess what the governor announced," said Cantrell. "I'll make decisions accordingly."
