Across Delaware, 72 percent of residents have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by the end of February, according to the State of Delaware.

The number of people who got at least one COVID-19 shot increased by 1.3 percent from the month before.

Roughly 62 percent of Delaware’s population has received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

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.
