WILMINGTON – One day after federal health officials announced that it was safe for vaccinated Americans to not wear masks or socially distance in most public spaces, Gov. John Carney followed suit by ordering the same guidance in Delaware effective May 21. Carney had been noncommittal on lifting the mask mandate when asked early Friday, but made the change to the order later in the day.

“It’s clear that the COVID-19 vaccines are extremely safe and protective against infection and serious illness,” said Gov. Carney in a statement to the media. “Delawareans who are fully vaccinated have significant protection against this virus and can feel comfortable getting back to the things they loved to do before this pandemic. For our neighbors who aren’t vaccinated, the message is clear. The COVID-19 vaccine is the best protection we have against the virus. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect you and those you love. In the meantime, Delawareans who are unvaccinated, including children, should continue to wear masks in public places.”

Purim is forever for the un-vaccinated!

I’ve had all my vaccines.

I get lonely when I am unmasked , walking outdoors, so this strategy works every time.

Many times, yes.
