Sussex County was recently flagged as a substantial COVID-19 transmission area by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This means that, per its guidelines, everyone, regardless of vaccination status, should wear a mask indoors in public. While visiting the Delaware State Fair in Harrington on Thursday, Gov. John Carney said he does not have any plans to reinstate a mask mandate anywhere in the state.
- Reinstating a mask policy might contradict the politically inflated 70% vaccination rate. Please protect your most vulnerable citizens, Gov. Carney! I know you can no longer be reelected but think about the lives at stake or that can be or will be lost due to the delta variant! — Elizabeth Hettinger Larlham
- Do you know what is in the vax? Have you found the number of people who have died or have adverse reactions? Why are so many nurses and doctors refusing the vax? — Margaret Mclaughlin
- Don’t believe a word that man says. — Matt Andrews
- He will reinstate when summer is over and things get worse and still no workers for businesses. Not just local but businesses that supply the food chain, etc. He doesn’t know what the future holds with the different strains of COVID and the flu season. — Elvis Cadillac
- Bring back the mask! — Charlie Harper
- Just wear yours. Easy. — Christina Fox
- Yeah. Just wear two for me. Never wore a mask correctly anyway. — Mary Crossan Criscuolo
- I really don’t think America will settle for this again and certainly not another lockdown. These governors are truly on a slippery slope. — Margaret Mclaughlin
