3 deaths cover 19

St.

Martin parish president chestar cedars held a press conference explaining their recent covid-19 numbers in the parish...news1's cassie schirm is live with the details, cassie?

Well these are the first deaths w've had here and acadiana related to covid-19.

Now dr tina stefanslku says unfortunately more deaths will be announced soon here in acadiana as she continues to be notified.

Vo?

Or maybe make graphic?

In one day the parish has seen three deaths and 11 new cases.one of those people was woman in her 40s who was in good health.the other two people were 70 and 89 years old.

St.

Martin parish president chester cedars says everyone needs to do their part in stopping this from getting worse.

The whole intent of this executive order that the governor issued is very clear: if yo're in doubt stay at home.

Tha's what the order says.

And 'm afraid that many people, many leaders have pandered to certain industries and certain businesses and tried to get around that order!

We should be doing just the opposite.

So if ther's gonna be any changes as a result of these tests and these results that we have just received, from st.

Martin paris's perspective i's that w're gonna more vigorously propogate that message; w're gonna more vigorously tell people, please stay at home!
