The COVID Delta variant is impacting governmental
operations statewide. Based on the increase in COVID positives,
hospitalizations, and the highly contagious nature of this strain, Mayor Tommy
Eschete has made some decisions in order to protect the businesses,
organizations and residents in the City of Thibodaux. The members of the
general public are required to wear a mask when inside City buildings.
The City of Thibodaux is implementing this mask mandate as a protective
measure. The City will not ask for or verify the vaccination status of
the general public. This mask mandate is the only current restriction for
members of the public and may change based on any future restrictions mandated
by the Governor.
The members of the public may see City employees without
a mask. The Mayor has mandated all unvaccinated or partially vaccinated
City employees must wear a mask in daily operations, while vaccinated employees
are not required to wear a mask. In addition, the Mayor has established
protective measures for employees that includes a validated list of all vaccinated
employees, multiple available COVID vaccine sites for employees, temperature
monitoring for employees with COVID symptoms, rapid COVID testing (at both
medical providers and internal to the City) and the publication of latest CDC
guidelines to all departments and employees.
The City of Thibodaux will continue to inform the public
with the most current information as the situation evolves. Mayor Eschete
would like to encourage all residents to get vaccinated.
