Delaware Updates - Wednesday, June 24

|
Delawareans need to act with a sense of responsibility, community, and awareness of the fact that your actions affect your neighbor:
- Wear a face covering when you are in public. When you wear a mask, you show that you are concerned about your neighbor, that you’re concerned about the community health, and that you want our economy to be strong.
- Keep a six foot distance from those outside your household, recognizing that you could be an asymptomatic carrier.
- Get tested, especially if you think you may have been exposed to someone positive for COVID-19 or if you were in a large group.
