Iberia Parish Government will be working with its department heads, agencies, boards and commissions to determine how this stay-at-home order should be implemented while at the same continuing essential government functions.
Everyone is urged to continue to support our local healthcare facilities, pharmacies, grocery stores, restaurants and other businesses that remain open during this difficult time, as well as their dedicated employees.
