as i said, i'm grateful for the team here at baton rouge general. and if you look not just here in baton rouge, but across the state and the country, if you are looking for heroes today, they are our health care professionals. they are our nurses, doctors, everybody coming together to work so hard and so well to save lives and to improve lives. and when we pray to god that we will provide comfort and peace to these covid patients, and healing to them, you know, he sends health care professionals. so it really is an answer to our prayer. and so we need to pray for those individuals. too, that they will have the grace and courage and the strength to be able to do what they are doing day after day and continue making that positive difference. and the support that we are getting from the navy is absolutely invaluable, and we really would appreciate it. and look, this is coming from a west point graduate. it's really hard for me to stay. -- say. no, it's not hard for me to say at a time like this i will say being navy -- [laughter] i would also be remiss

what is home life like for you, the self-quarantine, in baton rouge? guest: stay-at-home, wash your hands. stay-at-home, wash your hands. [laughs] that is what it has been like. and staying engaged with what is happening on the news, and helping through social media, engage and try to shape the solutions. because i think we do all have to work together. we do have to look forward to the next phase of this, and we need to prepare that this, unlike a hurricane, will not go away. it is going to be here for a while, and we need to figure out a way forward on how we are going to continue to protect ourselves and how we are going to get the testing done, how we are going to operate schools in the future, how we are going to operate stores, and some of the entertainment things we like to do, and that is a lot of work to do. but just opening the country up will not give people the confidence that it is ok to go sit in a crowded restaurant or go back to a basketball game or fall football. our culture will be changed as a result of this virus. everything from no

rouge parish is only 25% of the test rate and yet each baton rouge is the most populous parish in the whole state. 40,000 more than new orleans. i realize the hotspot was -- why is it taking so long to ramp up and get test results when you have more people living here than any other part of the state working? >> first of all, we are hopefully testing people who are symptomatically or if we are testing symptomatically people, we are testing symptomatically people and it does not have so much to do with how many people live in one particular area and that has been my charge to the department of health, working with all of the hospitals and clinics is that we are going to do as much testing as possible within the proper protocols. as we mentioned before, if we administer these tests are people who are a symptomatically the result is not going to be reliable, and therefore, someone can actually have the virus, have the disease. they will potentially not engage in the mitigation measures and social distancing of quarantining and isolation that they should, but you know, nobody is happy wit

so does baton rouge and bosier. there are some areas that are doing extremely well. there are other areas of our state that are not doing well at all. this virus, this disease is throughout the state of louisiana, and everybody needs to take it seriously. and everybody will at some point, when there is a death close to them. well, would it be better if we took it seriously so that never had to happen? i think the answer speaks for itself. so i would encourage people to comply. we will have another briefing. i will let you know when it's going to be. i suspect it will be tomorrow about the same time. between now and then, i ask everybody to do what they can to comply. show gratitude to our first responders and healthcare responders and and let's lift each other up in prayer. thank you so much. >> c-span has round the clock coverage of the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic and it is all available on demand at c-span.org/coronavirus. watch white house briefings, updates from governors and state officials, track the spread throughout the u.s. and the world wit

this took place in baton rouge. >> jeff, i was waiting on you. are you good? [laughter] , and thank you for tuning in. obviously anus officer public health to take specific questions related to the virus and the disease and testing. we will also be joined in progress by a congresswoman who will be here. i do want to thank steve for the work he is doing and for the entire delegation. the work that they are doing on behalf of the country and the state of louisiana specifically the cares act and other things they have been working on, and i do know that the congresswoman has been appointed to the advisory council that the president will work with as he makes decisions about the guidance he is going to issue relative to reopening the economy, and certainly i think that is helpful for our state to have someone on that council. we also have the secretary of economic development, don pearson, who is here. he will be able to answer any questions about an announcement i will be making as part of this press conference around the resilient louisiana commission whittle he

this is not just a problem for people in jefferson parish, shreveport, baton rouge. if you are somewhere that doesn't have a large case count, don't breathe easy. youtime is now to make sure don't get the cases. you are always further behind. if you wait until the numbers grab your attention, guess what? you just let the virus win. been behind this thing in the united states in the state of louisiana from the doinning, so we have to better on compliance. by the way, i want to thank those people who are complying. we have different ways to on socialmpliance distancing. i know people cell phones have gps devices and we have studies being done. there's a high level of compliance right now. there are some areas that are doing extremely well. there are other areas of our are not doing well at all. this virus, this diseases throughout the state of louisiana, and everybody needs to take it seriously. and everybody will at some point, when there is a death close to them. well, when it be better if we took it seriously so that never had to happen? think the answer speaks for

we will go live now to baton rouge, louisiana, to hear from governor john bel edwards who has been briefing reporters for 20 minutes. live coverage here on c-span. we are encouraging people to go to sba.gov and fill out an application for the paycheck and protection program. this is a loan designed to provide elect assistance to small business to keep their workers on payroll and the sba will forgive the loan. this is important because it is alone at first but it can be forgiven if employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities. so to find out more, please go to sba.gov. i would also like to remind everyone yesterday we launched an alert system that will provide timely updates for covid-19 and other critical kindness -- other guidance from the governor's office. text lacovidease to 67283. already one heard thousand people across00 the state have signed up for alert. additional information is available at coronavirus. l.a..gov. this point i will ask the doctor to come up and explain more about the chart that was up t

the first is debbie from baton rouge. i will read the question and ask the doctor to come up and answer it. if you test positive, what is your incubation period until you are considered well? is it a certain time? fever free? >> that is a great question, debbie, a question on a lot of people's minds. it bears emphasizing despite the fact we sadly lost 755 louisianans, most people who get covid will get better. my understanding, it is a pretty rough illness, not something any of us want to go through. by all means everything the governor said, we should be staying at home and limiting exposure. it is something that takes time to get through. our definition from the cdc for when we can say you are recovered is at least seven days after you have symptoms develop, the beginning or onset of illness and after that time period, we are looking for three days without a fever and with significant improvement in your symptoms where we can say you are recovered and importantly that time period has to be without taking medicine to red

west baton rouge. jefferson. st. charles, allen. st. bernard. two days ago six parishes were n this list. so obviously we have a significant problem here in louisiana. we've known this for some time now and this bears it out and it also reinforces the need to continue to do the things that we are doing. except to do them actually better. to have more compliance and not less. with respect to the information that we are sharing with you all , we're going to start showing more covid-19 deaths on our dashboard at louisiana department of health. starting today we're going to share aggregated data on race, the date of death, over time, and underlying conditions. all this will be on the dashboard. that will be updated not every day, but once each week. nd you can see this as ldh.la.gov. and this is continued proof of our efforts to be as transparent as we can be about what the situation here is in louisiana on the ground. we want to also be as timely as we can be with the information that we provide to you all. disturbingly this information is going to
