Yesterday, we reported 2,384 new reinfections and 35,819 total reinfections since the start of the pandemic. These aren’t yet included in our overall COVID case counts, but they will be starting next week. You cannot rely on natural immunity alone to protect you. #lagov https://t.co/NAP7V0N8UK — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past eight days, we have broken the single-day record of cases three times. Yesterday, we reported 17,592 COVID cases. For comparison, our single-day record during the Delta surge was 7,548 cases. We know the Omicron variant spreads faster than previous variants. #lagov https://t.co/5vwZZxkvjR — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, Louisiana sets another single-day record of 17,592 COVID cases today with COVID hospitalizations nearing 2,000. We owe it to our health care workers and to each other to stop this surge by masking, limiting exposures, and getting our vaccines and boosters. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

We've lost 15,102 Louisianans to COVID, including 29 individuals just yesterday. We've lost ZERO Louisianans to the COVID vaccine. Don't let misinformation be the reason you don't take one of these live-saving vaccines. Your life is too high of a price to pay. #lagov https://t.co/kVPtyQi1iW — PolitiTweet.org

While we're in a surge, we need to use all the tools in our toolbox, including masks. Stronger masking is critical against Omicron. Cloth masks can protect those around you, but wearing a N95, KN95, or KF94 adds significant protection to the wearer & are in good supply. #lagov https://t.co/Mq3fGLJYdZ — PolitiTweet.org

Get the facts. Here's what we know about the Omicron variant: ➡️ It's more transmissible ➡️ It's now the dominant strain in the U.S. and Louisiana ➡️ It may be less virulent but more data is needed ➡️ The best protection is vaccination, including boosters if eligible #lagov https://t.co/iX5ltaPC6r — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Unfortunately, we hit another single-day record of 14,802 COVID cases. Our actions today dictate our future. This weekend, wear your mask, limit your exposures, and make that vaccine or booster appointment if you haven't already. Together, we can get out of this surge. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

This week, surrounded by descendants of the Plessy, Ferguson, & Harlan families, I pardoned Mr. Homer Plessy in the same place he was arrested 130 years prior. We can’t undo the wrongs of the past, but we can move forward with a commitment to advancing equality & justice. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

It's 22 months into the pandemic, and I know people are tired. But we don't get a vote on what COVID does. During this surge we need to focus on protecting one another and our hospitals. That means masking, testing, limiting exposures, and getting vaccinated & boosted. #lagov https://t.co/3N7ZsbRT5M — PolitiTweet.org

Masking offers an additional layer of protection while we are in a surge. Stronger masking is critical against Omicron. Cloth masks are good at protecting those around you, but wearing a N95, KN95, or KF94 adds significant protection to the wearer and are in good supply. #lagov https://t.co/INuecBNekq — PolitiTweet.org
