As a result of a new surge of coronavirus cases, the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles is taking precautions to prevent the spread.
Starting on Monday, July 26, face masks will be required at all OMV locations in the state of Louisiana.
If you do not have a mask, one will be provided for you.
According to La. Gov. John Bel Edwards, the state is currently leading the nation in for new cases per capita. Louisiana also falls very near the bottom of the list for vaccinations.
Edward’s newly released guidance encourages Louisianians, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, to mask up inside and practice social distancing.
Dr. John Vanchiere, an infectious disease specialist with LSU Health Shreveport, says as COVID-19 cases increase locally, numbers are up for vaccinations.
