WILMINGTON, Del.- Gov. John Carney on Sunday signed the seventh modification to his State of Emergency declaration ordering all out-of-state travelers into Delaware to immediately self-quarantine for 14 days to fight the spread of COVID-19.
Under Sunday’s order, anyone who enters Delaware from another state must immediately self-quarantine for 14 days.
The 14-day period is measured from the time of entry into Delaware or for the duration of the individual’s presence in Delaware, whichever is shorter.
Carney’s order also applies to anyone who has entered Delaware in the last 14 days.
The order does not apply to travelers who are merely passing through Delaware.
Anyone who lives out-of-state and commutes to Delaware for essential work is strongly encouraged to work from home.
Sunday’s order does not apply to those traveling to care for members of their family. Individuals under self-quarantine can leave their homes to seek medical care.
Carney’s order will take effect at 8 a.m. Monday, March 30.
