NEW ORLEANS, La. (WVUE) - The Jefferson Parish coroner took steps today to deal with a growing backlog of the deceased at local hospitals. Funeral directors plagued with a variety of issues are having problems picking up bodies.

Jefferson Parish coroner Dr. Gerry Cvitanovich says the morgue still has space but he’s brought in a refrigerated truck with shelves to handle more coronavirus victims should the need arise.

Normally funeral homes are able to pick up the deceased at local hospitals on a regular basis, but now those pickups are being delayed due to safety concerns for morticians.

[TD] [TABLE="border: 0, cellpadding: 0, cellspacing: 0"]
[TR]
[TD]The Louisiana Department of Health has updated its website to reflect the latest number of positives and will continue to update its website at noon each day.

As of noon on March 26, the Department reported 510 additional cases since yesterday, bringing the total to 2,305 positive cases. Important to note are the increases in Caddo Parish (additional 22 cases, bringing the total to 115) and Bossier Parish (additional 25 cases, bringing the total to 32), which the Department and Governor’s Office are monitoring closely.

To further combat the spread of COVID-19 in Louisiana, Governor John Bel Edwards issued a Stay at Home Order on March 22, directing all Louisiana residents to shelter at home and limit movements outside of their homes beyond essential needs.

Click here for the governor's official order.

Hospitalization
Yesterday, 491 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized. Of those, 163 patients required ventilation. Today, 676 COVID-19 patients are hospitalized. Of those, 239 require ventilation. If Louisiana’s growth continues this way and the State is unable to flatten the curve, the New Orleans area could run out of vents by the first week of April.

Nursing homes
The Department of Health has identified COVID-19 clusters in six nursing homes in the state. The five the Department can identify are Chateau D’Ville, Chateau De Notre Dame, Lambeth House, St. James Place and Vista Shores. A cluster is identified as two or more cases that appear to be connected. With the involvement of hospitals and multiple providers and the growth in cases of nursing home residents, going forward the Department will require a lag time in its reporting on specific clusters. The Department aims to be a source of reliable information and needs to be able to allow its epidemiological team time to do its job in notifying providers and patients. Going forward, the Department will report the current number of clusters every day at noon, but will only share names of facilities once the proper notifications have taken place. The Department continues to work with nursing homes to minimize the spread of the illness and protect residents and staff.

Deaths
The Department reports an additional 18 deaths since yesterday, bringing the total of 83 deaths. Below is a table of all reported deaths to date. [/TD]

[TR]
[TD]The Louisiana Department of Health has updated its website to reflect the latest number of positives and will continue to update its website at noon each day.

As of noon on March 27, the Department reported 441 additional cases since yesterday, bringing the total to 2,746 positive cases.

Hospitalization
Yesterday, 676 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized. Of those, 239 required ventilation. Today, 773 COVID-19 patients are hospitalized. Of those, 270 require ventilation.

Nursing homes/independent living/assisted living facilities
The Department of Health has identified COVID-19 clusters in eight nursing homes/independent living/assisted living facilities in the state: Chateau D’Ville, Chateau De Notre Dame, Chateau St. James, Good Samaritan New Orleans, Lambeth House, Luling Living Center, St. James Place and Vista Shores. A cluster is identified as two or more cases that appear to be connected.

Because of the sheer volume of cases, we will be sharing the updated number of clusters every day at noon. We will rely on facilities for reporting on the most-up-to-date information. The fact that someone has died at a nursing home/independent living/assisted living facility has less to do with the facility and more to do with the individual.

The Department continues to work with nursing homes to minimize the spread of the illness and protect residents and staff.

Doctor Joseph Kanter confirmed with the Department of Health that other potential cases at the facility are being investigated, even though the facility has not been identified as a cluster site.

Louisiana Department of Health Updates for 3/28/2020


March 28, 2020

The Louisiana Department of Health has updated its website to reflect the latest number of positives and will continue to update its website at noon each day.

As of noon on March 28, the Department reported 569 additional cases since yesterday, bringing the total to 3,315 positive cases.

Hospitalization

Yesterday, 773 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized. Of those, 270 required ventilation. Today, 927 COVID-19 patients are hospitalized. Of those, 336 require ventilation.

Nursing homes/independent living/assisted living facilities

The Department of Health has identified COVID-19 clusters in 11 nursing homes/independent living/assisted living facilities in the state: Chateau De Notre Dame; Chateau D'Ville; Chateau St. James; Good Samaritan, New Orleans; Lambeth House; Luling Living Center; Nouveau Marc; River Palms Nursing and Rehab; St. James Place; St. Joseph of Harahan; and Vista Shores.

A cluster is identified as two or more cases that appear to be connected.

Because of the sheer volume of cases, we will be sharing the updated number of clusters every day at noon. We will rely on facilities for reporting on the most-up-to-date information. The fact that someone has died at a nursing home/independent living/assisted living facility has less to do with the facility and more to do with the individual.

The Department continues to work with nursing homes to minimize the spread of the illness and protect residents and staff.

Deaths

The Department reports an additional 18 deaths since yesterday, bringing the total to 137 deaths. Deaths are listed on the LDH dashboard by parish under the by parish tab and information by age can be found on the by age group tab.

Dashboard information

The LDH dashboard now includes a new feature allowing site visitors to view positive case data over time. Click the over time tab.
