There were 9,481 new COVID-19 cases found across Delaware in July, according to the State of Delaware.

This is an increase of 812 from the month before.

By July, Delaware had 268,113 total confirmed COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020.

The virus and its complications have claimed 2,720 lives by the end of July.

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.
