TERMINATION DATE

The various orders set forth above and contained in the Governor's Proclamations are currently set to terminate on April 30, 2020. However, that date may be extended or terminated early as a result of further Proclamations.

THESE DIRECTIVES ARE CLEARLY APPLICABLE TO THE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES OF IBERIA PARISH. ADDITIONALLY, I PREVIOUSLY ISSUED THE FOLLOWING CURFEW.

CURFEW

A curfew for all persons was previously issued for all areas of the Parish, including the municipalities of Delcambre, Jeanerette, Loreauville and New Iberia. The Curfew is from 10:00

p.m. until 5:00 a.m. Emergency vehicles and personnel are not included in the curfew, nor does it apply to anyone going to and from their place of employment for purposes of work or any other essential business activity as specifically defined by the CISA guidelines previously referred to. This curfew will remain in effect until midnight, April 30, 2020, unless earlier rescinded or extended.

I have generally been pleased with the level of cooperation and understanding demonstrated by most of our citizens and businesses. However, the number of positive cases of COVID-19 continues to increase in Iberia Parish and five of our citizens have died as a result of this virus. Our Parish and State are facing a crucial time if we hope to reduce and ultimately stop the spread of COVID-19 and the devasting effect that it is having on the health, safety and welfare of our friends and families and our local economy.

THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO THE LOUISIANA HOMELAND SECURITY AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE AND DISASTER ACT (LA. R.S. 29:221), I AM ISSUING THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL ORDERS FOR IBERIA PARISH BEGINNING AT 5:00 P.M. ON APRIL 7, 2020 AND ENDING AT MIDNIGHT ON APRIL 30, 2020, UNLESS EARLIER RESCINDED OR EXTENDED.

ADDITIONAL ORDERS

All grocery stores, dollar stores, convenience stores and "big box" stores shall be allowed to operate from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. However, they shall be limited to no more than twenty (20%) percent of the Louisiana State Fire Marshal capacity to be present in such stores at any one time. Each of the businesses referred to above shall clearly post the number of authorized occupants (20% of the Louisiana State Fire Marshal capacity) in plain view so that it might be seen by patrons desiring to enter the store. This shall be accomplished by designating a single point of entrance and a single point of exit and by counting customers as they arrive and leave. Once a store ' s limit has been reached, additional arriving customers will be admitted one-by-one as a customer departs. These stores shall also implement a one person - one buggy/basket policy to help ensure that only one person per family enters the store and then for the purpose of purchasing essential items only. Now is not the time to browse and spend time in a store just to get out of your house. These stores should also implement one-way movement through its aisles whenever possible in order to improve social distancing among customers. All 24-hour pharmacies shall be allowed to continue to operate their pharmacy services only after 8:00 p.m. but must only provide drive-thru services. Convenience stores may continue operation of their automated fuel pumps after 8:00 p.m. for the purpose of servicing first responders, medical personnel and other essential workers defined in the CISA guidelines previously referred to.

Mechanic shops, tire stores, auto parts stores and lumber/hardware stores shall be allowed to remain open to keep the essential functions of our communities operational. These shops and stores shall implement curbside and drop-off pick-up service whenever possible to limit person­ to-person contact with customers. The hours of operation, customer capacity, one-person per family and one-way movement through its aisles restrictions of other stores shall also apply to those shops and stores.

Golf courses will be allowed to remain open for golf play operations only. However, golf play must be accomplished by walking or allowing only one (1) person per cart and social distancing being observed.

These orders will not apply to banks and financial institutions. However, banks, financial institutions and loan closing agencies should utilize drive-thru systems and remote signing platforms whenever possible and use innovative ways to create social distancing whenever possible.
