President Trump announced there will not be Republican National Convention activities in Jacksonville, Florida, due to the pandemic. He said events in Charlotte, North Carolina, will still be held and he will make an acceptance speech in a different form.

From CNN's Hollie SilvermanHospitalizations are on the rise in all areas of Louisiana, with strains on capacity particularly in three regions: Lafayette, Lake Charles and Central Louisiana, Gov. John Bel Edwards said during a Thursday afternoon news conference.

Dr. Amanda Logue, chief medical officer of Lafayette General Health, said her hospital system has put elective procedures on hold to create more beds as they are"quickly running out of space." Logue said the hospital will continue to treat all emergency patients but is unable to do elective procedures.

"The problem isn't needing more space, it's having enough people to staff the beds and keep the nurses healthy," he said.He said he is also concerned that the delaying of elective surgeries has already had impacts on the community, as mammograms, recommended bypasses, and other procedures have been put on hold.
