We have had a burn ban in effect in Louisiana for about a month. The 
state here
gave as it's reasons that the smoke might have a negative effect on 
people with
existing respiratory conditions thus possibly making them more 
susceptible to
the virus and also that a fire could possibly get out of hand taking 
first responders
away from more important duties.
