 Carney’s revision on Friday also makes technical corrections clarifying that Delaware private and parochial schools must follow COVID-19 restrictions in school buildings and notify their school communities in the event of a positive case of  Covid-19. Private and parochial schools in Delaware have already been adhering to these guidelines as they have reopened.

Carney’s modification also streamlines the approval process for events beyond public gathering limits from  the Delaware Division of Public Health.
