Delaware’s COVID-19 State of Emergency order has officially expired as of July 13. The order was replaced by a Public Health Emergency order, signed by Gov. John Carney on Monday. This narrower order allows the State of Delaware and medical providers to continue COVID-19 vaccination and testing programs. It also authorizes the Division of Public Health to direct COVID-19 vaccination, treatment and mitigation measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Delaware National Guard may also provide support under the direction of the director of the Delaware Emergency Management Agency and the secretary of the Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
