Superdome Announces 32 out of over 275 Employees Have Positive COVID-19 Tests

Thirty-two Broadmoor LLC employees who were working on a renovation project in New Orleans' Mercedes-Benz Superdome have tested positive for COVID-19, per Tiffany Baptiste of Fox 8.

A statement from the Superdome began as follows, per WDSU:

"We can confirm that in the last few weeks, 32 of the 275-plus daily workers on the project have tested positive for COVID-19. This post-Memorial Day increase is consistent with what 21 other states, not including Louisiana, are experiencing at this stage of the pandemic as more restrictions have been lifted for travel, shopping, and work.
