Lafayette Live: Guillory Following Gov’s Lead On Mask Mandate

Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory joins Acadiana's Morning News every Thursday to take your calls about local government. He continues a 12-year tradition started by former Mayor-President Joel Durel and Bernadette Lee.

Listen to this morning's show with Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory.

We asked Guillory about a story by Ben Myers of The Acadiana Advocate that his stance against a mask mandate runs counter to the suggestions of Region 4 Medical Director Dr. Tina Stefanski. Guillory said on this morning's show that that isn't exactly true and clarified his position. His reasoning seems to fall in line with what Governor John Bel Edwards has said in recent days. Guillory lamented the fact that the mask issue has become, in his words, "political".

And what about the spike in Coronavirus cases. Are we moving backward? Will we go back to Phase One guidelines?
