The state has the fifth-lowest vaccination rate in the country, with unvaccinated patients making up 91 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations.
More than 3,000 students and staff in the NOLA Public School District in New Orleans have been placed under quarantine due to potential exposure to COVID-19, according to the system's weekly case tracker.
Positive cases have more than doubled since last week, when many schools had yet to reopen for the 2021-2022 school year. The number of quarantined individuals has increased nearly fivefold from last week's 638. The growing number of cases and quarantining in Louisiana's most populous city signals a rocky start to school reopenings in a state that is facing a surge in coronavirus cases due to a combination of the highly transmissible Delta variant and Louisiana's low vaccination rates.
