Iberia Parish President M. Larry Richard -The current number of positive cases of COVID-19 in Iberia Parish stands at 68 with three deaths. - 4/3/2020 For more information contact: Prescott Marshall
The current number of positive cases of COVID-19 in Iberia Parish stands at sixty-eight (68) with three deaths. Please note that this reflects a decrease in the number of positive cases previously reported for Iberia Parish and Statewide. There was an issue with commercial labs making duplicate entries and those duplicates have been cleared up. Going forward, that should not happen again. Despite this news, we anticipate that the number of positive COVID-19 cases will continue to rise during the days ahead. We are in a MEDICAL CRISIS. April will be a critical month if we intend to stop the spread of COVID-19. We must be deliberate in following the directions of our Governor and health care officials.
We need your assistance in protecting our neighbors, friends and loved ones. Each of us MUST continue to practice the following directives:
