CHALMETTE, La. — Whether dancing at a festival or dining in a restaurant, right now COVID-19 restrictions are the most relaxed we've seen in more than a year in Louisiana. Masks aren't required everywhere and businesses are open.

"We're eating out just about every Sunday and we're thankful for it," said Pastor Tyrone Jefferson while eating at Lakeview Harbor after church Sunday.
