Business leaders from across the state are optimistic that Louisiana and the nation are about to put the restrictions of the pandemic behind them.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards is moving the state into "Phase 3."

These two parishes now join Jeff Davis as the only parishes in our region that are eligible to reopen bars under Phase Three guidelines.

Governor Edwards announced the Phase 3 guidelines for Louisiana at a press conference today. He later went to Twitter to deliver more information on his announcement and also is urging people to be realistic as Phase 3 may be where Louisiana stays until a vaccine is widely available.

Per a press release from the Lafayette Parish School System, as the state of Louisiana moves into Phase 3 of its reopening plan, the Lafayette Parish School System will remain in Phase 2 of their 2020-2021 Learn Lafayette Reopening Plan.

Since June 5th, Louisiana has been stuck in Phase 2. During that time, a statewide mask mandate was put in place by Governor John Bel Edwards on July 13th.

The Governor will be giving a major update today at 2:30 pm.
