The daily number of new COVID-19 cases posted Saturday by the Louisiana Office of Public Health may have caused people to slap their computers or do a quick refresh.
Sixteen new COVID-19 cases were reported at noon Monday for St. Mary, St. Martin and Assumption parishes. No new deaths were reported by the Louisiana Office of Public Health.
Twelve new COVID-19 cases were reported in three local parishes for the period from noon Saturday to noon Sunday. One new death was reported in St. Martin.
The Louisiana Office of Public Health posted the largest one-day increase in COVID-19 cases in weeks Saturday and said a backlog of older test results is partially responsible.
Nine new COVID-19 cases and one death were reported in St. Martin on Friday, and two more cases were reported in St. Mary.
