Delaware Gov. John Carney announces end to indoor mask mandate

Democratic Gov. John Carney of Delaware announced on Monday that the end of the state’s indoor mask mandate will arrive later this week.

Beginning Friday at 8 a.m., masks will no longer be required for indoor public settings, Carney said. Additionally, the mask mandate for public and private schools along with child care facilities will expire on March 31 at 11:59 p.m. Carney said the state is lifting its mandate because it is in “a much better place than we were several weeks ago.”
