COVID-19 cases in Vermilion Parish climb to eight
The number of COVID-19 cases jumped from three to eight cases in one day in Vermilion Parish.
For the last few days, Vermilion Parish has had at least three cases and one death. That number jumped to eight cases on Tuesday when the Louisiana Department of Health updated its website, and there is still only one death, in the parish.
The reason for the spike in the parish could be because the COVID-19 test results are just being returned to the patients from last week. However, testing has slowed down at the Abbeville General Clinic in Erath.
