There were 7,408 new COVID-19 cases found across Delaware in February, according to the State of Delaware.
This is a decrease of 58,568 from the month before.
By February, Delaware had 234,308 total confirmed COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020.
The virus and its complications have claimed 2,560 lives by the end of February.
Governor John C. Carney declared a new state of emergency in Delaware in early 2022 as COVID-19 cases surged in the winter season. The state of emergency requires indoor masking for everyone in schools.
The recent surge of the Omicron COVID-19 variant caused “an unpleasant mixture of dread, fatigue and deja vu” almost two years into the pandemic, according to a report from McKinsey & Company.
Past data is continually updated by the State’s health department.
