Description of Program and Relief
Guidance on Reopening
Governor Edwards issued a proclamation on September 11, 2020, moving Louisiana to Phase Three of reopening the state. Major changes in Phase Three include allowing restaurants, churches, salons, spas, gyms and other businesses to open at a maximum of 75 percent of their occupancy. Indoor social gatherings are limited to the lesser of 250 people or 50 percent capacity of the facility; outdoors, if social distancing is not possible, crowd sizes are limited to 50 percent capacity and up to 250 people. The statewide mask mandate will remain in place.
