14.5 percent of COVID-19 tests in June came back positive, according to the State of Delaware.

Of the 56,039 tests administered to Delaware residents in June, 8,116 were positive.

By June, Delaware had 259,752 total confirmed COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020.

The virus and its complications have claimed 2,696 lives by the end of June.

A state of emergency declared by Governor John C. Carney in early 2022 requiring indoor masking in schools expired at the beginning of March.

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.
