Louisiana reported 1,023 additional cases today with 7.3% of tests (PCR only) positive.
Orleans Parish reported 64 additional cases today with 3.6% of tests positive.
May be more evidence of a plateau coming though still too early to tell for sure.

Decent evidence of a plateau developing a little more than a week ago in the cases by date of test data.
If we have a bad backlog right now that might be skewing things though.

Anyhow, the totality of data suggests we are likely at a plateau right now though obviously there's no guarantee that we don't either stay there or go down.
If you take out the backlogged cases from last Friday then the statewide graph looks like this.
Like I said, there's still the possibility of a backlog skewing the assessment so it adds some uncertainty about whether we're at a plateau. But there's ample evidence showing it's the plausible, maybe even likely, situation right now.
