Louisiana makes masks mandatory, closes bars

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards has announced a mandatory mask requirement and the closure of bars with food-permits starting Monday. Gathering, both outdoor and indoor, will be limited to 50 people. The state reported over 2,000 cases Saturday, the third-highest number since March.
