Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar Closing For Deep Cleaning After Employee Tests Positive For COVID

Lucy’s Retired Surfers bar off Tchoupitoulas in the CBD HAS temporarily CLOSED AFTER an EMPLOYEE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. The company informed the public via social media today. The closure comes just five days after Louisiana entered into phase 2, and bars were able to re-open at 25% capacity again.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close Lucy’s New Orleans after a member of our staff received a positive COVID-19 test result this afternoon.” – Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar

Lucy’s originally re-opened during phase 1 and has been apart of the CBD resurgence since phase 1 began. You can see their full statement below.
