NEW ORLEANS — The Louisiana Department of Health says it is reviewing its coronavirus patient data and will not publish an update to its online dashboard Thursday.
Gov. John Bel Edwards is scheduled to give a COVID-19 briefing at 2:30 p.m. Thursday. The governor's briefing was scheduled before the health department announced that it would not be updated its dashboard.

The LDH reported 928 more cases of the coronavirus on Wednesday but said 129 of those were backlogged cases that had been collected in early April.
