BATON ROUGE — Gov. John Bel Edwards has signed an executive order that extends Phase 2 and the statewide mask mandate, closure of bard to on-sited consumption and gathering size limits in Louisiana.
This extension is set to expire on Sept. 11.
Edwards said White House officials approved his decision to maintain the restrictions.
IBERIA PARISH – Shortly after 10:00 p.m. on August 30, 2020, Troopers responded to a fatal crash involving a pedestrian on US Highway 90 near North College Road. The crash claimed the life of 40-year-old Chad James Maturin of Abbeville.
Gov. John Bel Edwards
BATON ROUGE — In a letter to President Donald Trump, Gov. John Bel Edwards today requested a major disaster declaration for 23 parishes in Louisiana impacted by Hurricane Laura which, if approved, would bring FEMA assistance to affected individuals and communities. At least ten people have died in Louisiana following the storm, with many thousands more suffering damage to their homes and businesses.
A small part of Abbeville is under a boil advisory because of a broken water line that is already repaired.
A 6-inch water broke near WalMart but it was repaired by City workers. However, until the state is able to test the water, business owners around Walmart are under a boil advisory.
The boundaries are Cattle Festival Road, Veterans Memorial Drive and Lauren Parc Road. It is unknown how long the boil advisory will take place.
