Gov. Carney extends public health emergency for Delaware
WILMINGTON — Gov. John Carney on Friday formally extended the Public Health Emergency order another 30 days to allow the state and medical providers to continue COVID-19 vaccination and testing programs.
Under Delaware law, Public Health Emergency declarations must be renewed every 30 days.
“We’ve made a lot of progress in getting folks vaccinated, but we still have a lot of work to do,” Gov. Carney said in a statement. “With colder weather and more indoor gatherings, we are seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases. Children ages five and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, and we need to get more of our younger Delawareans vaccinated.”
He encouraged those eligible for a booster shot to go out and get one versus waiting to make an appointment. Visit de.gov/getmyvaccine to find locations where COVID-19 vaccines are available.
