Across Delaware, 62 percent of residents are considered fully vaccinated after two doses of COVID-19 vaccine by the end of February, according to the State of Delaware.

The number of fully vaccinated people increased by 1.8 percent from the month before.

Roughly 72 percent of Delaware's population has received at least one dose 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.
