Check here regularly for the latest new and information.The nationwide increase in COVID-19 cases is showing up in the First State as well.&nbsp;COVID hospitalizations, new daily cases and percent of people testing positive have all trended upward in Delaware over the past month.&nbsp;“We want all of those measures to go the other way,” Gov. John Carney said Tuesday. “So we need to flatten the curve again.”&nbsp;Other states are seeing similar trends, and the U.S. could be on the cusp of a fourth surge, despite more people getting vaccinated each day.&nbsp;As of Tuesday, 142 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 in Delaware. The 7-day average of new daily cases of the virus remained above 300, where the measure has been for a week.&nbsp;During a virtual town hall Tuesday, Carney blamed the local uptick in cases on Delawareans letting their guard down.“The good news is, vaccines are flowing—half a million shots into people’s arms,” he said. "The bad news is, it’s making&nbsp; people feel a little bit more comfortable, a little bit more confident. We’re into the nicer weather, it’s been beautiful out, people are circulating more—and as a result, the virus is spreading.”State officials urge residents to wear masks, practice social distancing and get tested.&nbsp;The number of Delawareans getting vaccinated continues to rise.Anyone age 16 and older became eligible Tuesday, and by Wednesday nearly a third of all Delawareans had received at least one shot—and close to one in five had been fully vaccinated.That’s roughly in line with nationwide vaccination rates. &nbsp;Sophia Schmidt is a Delaware native.
