Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I count it a blessing to have known Col. DePlysser, it was truly an honor to celebrate his 100th birthday last year. His love for Shreveport- Bossier was infectious, and he served his community, state and nation with dignity and valor. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/2euhfe0LDL — PolitiTweet.org

Just one person's actions can help stop the spread of COVID-19 in Louisiana. Be a good neighbor and wear a mask, social distance, avoid congregating and stay home when possible. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/6CnKnHHln6 — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Billions of dollars in funding are allocated to hospitals, public services, schools, and roads based on census data, and I urge everyone to do their part in shaping our communities by completing the 2020 Census today. #lagov #LouisianaCounts Visit: https://t.co/tb7FQHit4A https://t.co/zEpyASX7ut — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #FellowsFriday! Today we’re meeting Nicole Moore and Nicholas Hopkins. Nicole, a senior at @SouthernU_BR, is working with the community programs team in my office, and Nicholas, a senior at @NSULA, working with @GOHSEP #lagov #lalege https://t.co/7e7MI44IcT — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I wish her well in her election and have every confidence in Acting Commissioner Legier’s ability to continue successfully leading this agency. I look forward to working with him. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

She has been an integral part of my administration not only helping to regulate the alcohol and tobacco industries throughout the state but also creating the Human Trafficking Task Force within ATC to address this heinous problem impacting our state and nation. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Louisiana Alcohol and Tobacco Control Commissioner Juana Lombard has resigned in order to run for Magistrate for the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court in the upcoming election, and I want to thank Commissioner Lombard for her dedicated service to our state. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Young people between the ages of 18-29 make up the majority of COVID-19 cases in Louisiana, and they are not exempt from experiencing symptoms or spreading the virus. Hear their stories. #MaskUpLa #lagov ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/8RuxFYlGdx — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

There are several no-cost COVID-19 testing sites throughout the state of Louisiana that are open to anyone who needs a test. Though pre-registering is not required, it is encouraged. Visit https://t.co/XFpHvknGS1 to find your location and pre-register. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/FIOp5xw5Ls — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, the @LADeptHealth is reporting 2,142 COVID-19 cases reported to the state since July 23. 89% of today's cases are from community spread. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/hhVAPYyBAo — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Those minimizing the current COVID-19 situation in Louisiana are a small minority, and I want to commend the vast majority of Louisianans for doing their part to stay informed and stop the spread. (8/8) #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

COVID-19 is very prevalent throughout our state, and it is more widespread than ever before. We are at a critical point, which is why everyone needs to take this virus seriously and continue all of the mitigation measures that we know will slow the spread. (7/8) #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

This is a statewide epidemic now, and the increase in hospitalizations across the state is alarming. We're especially concerned about Acadiana, Central and Southwest Louisiana. Every health care system in every region is being affected by this surge. (6/8) #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Even if for some strange reason, which is totally incomprehensible to me, you don’t care about COVID-19, you should care about hospital capacity when you have an automobile accident or need a life-saving procedure. (5/8) #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

We’ve put in multiple redundant systems to scrub the data and to make sure it is accurate and timely. And we are sharing it with the public in a way that we can be as transparent as possible. (4/8) #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

COVID-19 is going to show up in testing first, hospitalizations second and deaths third. There’s no way the hospitalizations are going up and the deaths are going up and the cases aren't going up with them—it just doesn’t make sense. (3/8) #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

A positive COVID-19 case reported to the state refers to a specific individual, whether they tested positive once, twice or however many times. One case = one person. It is grossly irresponsible to suggest or imply that the state is inflating numbers. (2/8) #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

For anyone out there minimizing the seriousness of the current COVID-19 situation across the state and deliberately spreading misinformation, you are doing yourself, your neighbor and Louisiana a terrible disservice. (1/8) #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I’ve extended Phase 2 with the mask mandate and other restrictions, but we are perilously close to having to make tough decisions that no one wants. This is why we have to follow the mitigation measures that are in place. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

COVID-19 is very prevalent throughout our state, and it is more widespread than ever before. We are certainly not where we want to be in Louisiana. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

When you hit a milestone like this one and when you see death totals that are higher than they’ve been in months, as we did yesterday, it’s a reality check. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, we are reporting 2,408 new cases, which means that the state has now surpassed 100,00 total cases. And of course, these are only the cases we know about. There are undoubtedly more. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

As Louisiana surpassed 100,000 known COVID-19 cases today, I have signed a renewal of the current proclamation extending Phase Two in the state, which includes the statewide mask mandate and additional restrictions, until August 7. 📰:https://t.co/q9jJLALyT6 #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org
