VIDEO IRE 2022 Preview: New Orleans Mask Mandate Lifted
Attendees at the 2022 International Roofing Expo (IRE) in New Orleans Feb. 1-3 will not be required to wear masks or show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or testing while at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Late last month, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell suspended its mask mandate for most public spaces, including the site of the IRE, due to a drop in COVID-19 cases and climbing vaccination rates. The announcement followed Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards’ decision to lift the statewide mask mandate as well.
