Governor likely to consider more restrictions as COVID-19 cases spike again in Delaware
As the weather gets colder and COVD-19 cases continue to rise across the state and country, Delaware Gov. John Carney is likely to consider additional restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
On Friday, Carney's office said new sanctions could be on their way, but would not specify what lies ahead for Delaware.
"We’re starting to see in Delaware what we’ve seen across the country as it gets colder – rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations," Carney's spokesman Jonathan Starkey texted on Friday. "The governor will consider new restrictions if that becomes necessary to reduce the spread, based on advice from the public health experts."
Carney won reelection on Tuesday after nearly eight months of handling the pandemic in the First State. In the spring, he ordered many businesses to close in an attempt to mitigate the spread. He also implemented a stay-at-home order and beach closures and required residents to wear masks in public, among other mandates.
