NEW ORLEANS — Bars in New Orleans are preparing for another loss in revenue.
The city's Health Director said its likely bars would not continue indoor service this upcoming week since Covid cases are rising.
Bar Manager at B-Mac's in the French Quarter, Mia Matassa, said health leaders need to find a better method to learn why cases are rising instead of claiming close contact in bars is the reason.
