During a live-stream hosted by the City of Minden, it was revealed that Minden is currently the leading city in Louisiana in regard to new COVID-19 cases. What’s even more concerning than this figure is that a majority of those that have been affected by this outbreak had already been vaccinated, meaning that the current vaccines seem to be ineffective against what has recently been circulating locally.
“We don’t want this to get any larger than it is. In the state of Louisiana, we’re leading in COVID cases. Most of the people getting COVID have already had the vaccine, so it must be a strand we are not vaccinated for,” said Mayor Terry Gardner.
