Public health emergency extended for 11th time

May 26, 2022

Gov. John Carney formally extended the Public Health Emergency order May 26 for another 30 days to allow the State of Delaware and medical providers to continue COVID-19 vaccination and testing programs.

“Positive cases are increasing here in Delaware and it’s important people stay one step ahead of COVID-19,” Carney said. “Keep doing the things we know that work. Stay home if you’re sick and get tested. Mask up in public indoor settings or if you are at a higher risk for illness. Get vaccinated and boosted when you’re eligible.”

Under Delaware law, Public Health Emergency declarations must be renewed every 30 days.
