Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards issued a statewide "stay at home" order at a Sunday afternoon press conference, requiring Louisiana residents to shelter in place unless going out for essential tasks effective until April 12 in hopes of stanching the “community spread” of COVID-19.

Louisiana has the fastest growth rate of confirmed cases in the world, Edwards said, citing a University of Louisiana at Lafayette study.

“This is why it matters,” Edwards said. "If we want to flatten the curve, we have to take action today."

Louisiana ranks third in per capita cases behind New York and Washington State. As of the time of the press conference, state labs had tested 1,385 people and commercial labs had made 2,113 tests.
