LA Gov. John Bel Edwards: restaurants take-out only, drive-thru tests, isolation areas for homeless

Our governor is doing a great job so far, aggressive and proactive. He gets it--his mother was a charity hospital nurse.

In partnership with the federal government, Louisiana is erecting three drive-through testing sites, with two in New Orleans and one in Jefferson Parish, Edwards said. Baton Rouge also opened a drive-through testing site. He is also activating 400 national guard troops to staff the testing sites and work at Bayou Segnette State Park, which is being transformed into a coronavirus isolation area, something Edwards said was aimed mainly at providing a safe place for homeless people who test positive for the virus.
