Governor Carney’s order does not require children aged 12 or younger to wear a face covering. Any child 2-years-old or younger MUST NOT wear a face covering, due to the risk of suffocation.
Read Governor Carney’s modified order, which is effective 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 28.

“Now is not the time for Delawareans to get complacent,” said Governor Carney. “We face a very serious situation, with additional cases of COVID-19 and hospitalizations statewide. All of our actions are guided by science, and intended to save lives. Wearing a face covering in public settings is important to prevent transmission of this disease. But wearing a face covering is not permission to go out in public more often. Delawareans should stay home unless it’s absolutely necessary to go out for essential work or essential items. Don’t go out in public unnecessarily. You will only increase your risk – and the risk to your family, friends, and neighbors.”
Under Governor Carney’s modified order, businesses must also take certain steps to keep their employees and customers safe.
By 8:00 a.m. on Friday, May 1, businesses must:
Require employees to wear a face covering while working in areas open to the public and in areas where coming within 6 feet of other staff is likely.
Provide, at the business’ expense, face coverings and hand sanitizer for their employees.
Deny entry to individuals who do not have a face covering – or if one is not available for them.
If any business denying entry is providing medication, medical supplies, or food, the business must provide alternate methods of pickup or delivery.
God! This dumbass. We should be opening up, not going deeper. These power play governors are going to make the process of getting on our feet that much harder. Keep playing along sheeple.
ReplyDeleteIts about time
ReplyDeleteWhy has he waited so long?!
ReplyDeleteIt took him long enough. He should have listened to Trump and did this weeks ago just like Hogan and the rest of the Republican governors.
ReplyDeleteYour freedom to not have to wear a mask (stupid thing to be angry about in the first place) does not trump others rights to not be infected by a moron

Masks are useless really. They only prevent the afflicted from spreading NOT from catching. The best everyone can do is stop the connection between you hands and your face and try and stay as far away from people as possible. Even hand washing isn't what it's cut out to be since contamination can be on surfaces and items such as shopping bags etc. It's almost impossible to wash hands enough especially if you are out and about during the day. Don't touch your face!
ReplyDeleteWear Depends too !!!!
