With 264 cases of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 and six deaths, Governor John Carney said on WDEL Monday morning that the crisis in Delaware is "getting worse."
"We're about to really experience an acceleration in the number of cases, and the number of hospitalizations," he noted. "We're going to see a big surge in the next two or three weeks, and we ought to be prepared for it. People need to understand that they need to follow the rules in order to limit that surge."
He said that's the reasoning behind new restrictions that went into effect at 8 a.m. Monday, March 30, 2020, which require all out-of-state travelers to Delaware immediately quarantine for 14 days.
