Gov. John Bel Edwards has announced new restrictions that include a statewide mask mandate beginning Monday, July 13th for ages 8 and up. The exception being those with medical conditions that prevent the use of a mask. The mandatory statewide mask mandate will stay in place through July 24th. The mandate will mirror those already in place in East Baton Rouge and requires that all commercial and nonprofit entities providing goods or services directly to the public require patrons to wear masks or face coverings.

Where to Buy Face Masks in Baton Rouge and Beyond
If you’re not in the mood for crafts, there are many in Baton Rouge and beyond making and selling masks. We asked the Baton Rouge Family Fun community where they were buying masks and we have compiled a comprehensive list from those recommendations. A new study has shown that some of the most effective materials for face masks ― when factoring in filtration and breathability ― are cotton, denim, and canvas. The study also shows that multiple layers of material are more effective at blocking coronavirus particles than just one single layer.
