WILMINGTON, Del. — Starting Tuesday morning, you’ll need to wear a mask inside most public places in Delaware. This comes as COVID-19 cases continue to surge and hospitals are overwhelmed.
When this new mask mandate goes into effect, Delaware residents and anyone else visiting the state will need a mask in most indoor public settings, including convenience and grocery stores, gyms, restaurants, bars, hair salons, malls and casinos.“I think it’s a great idea. COVID or not, there’s germs everywhere. I myself am immunocompromised. I’m getting my booster next week, I’m already vaccinated since April. I think it’s a great idea,” one woman said.
Much has been made of business owners caught between customers who don’t want to wear a mask and state mandates. This gentleman shared a different take. “I’m thrilled that the governor is taking some stands and not having the responsibility fall to the business owners to all make a decision. My customers have been wondering should we or shouldn’t we and now we have a clear position from the governor so I’m happy to support that,” one man said.Carney will give more information in his COVID briefing Tuesday afternoon at 1:45 p.m. You can watch it live on CBSN Philly.
