As of Feb. 10, the number of total coronavirus cases reported in Louisiana increased by 337 and there have been 50 new deaths, according to the Louisiana Department of Health.
Of these cases, 314 are confirmed cases and 23 are probable cases.
According to LDH, because of the daily removal of newly identified duplicates and out of state cases, the new case increase may not match the difference between today’s and yesterday's total case count.
The total number of cases reported to the state as of Tuesday is 414,687. The current total death count is 9,212.
LDH says that due to a processing error, today’s reported case and test counts are incomplete.
The collection dates for all of these cases fall between Feb. 1 and Feb. 9, 2021. LDH says 97% of the cases reported to the state today were community spread, while 3% of the cases reported to the state today were in congregate settings.
As of Wednesday, Feb. 10, there have been 637,361 vaccinations administered. In LDH Region 4, which includes Acadiana, 45,818 vaccine series have been initiated. These numbers will be updated again on Thursday, February 11.
On Mondays, LDH usually releases the week's list of providers across the state that would have COVID vaccines available for those 65 years old and up and others within the current priority.
Residents wanting to receive a vaccine at those locations were required to make an appointment. For more information, click here.
