Delaware issues stay at home order

State Issues Delaware Covid-19

On March 22, the Delaware governor issued an order to close all non-essential businesses. The order went into effect at 8:00 AM and remains in effect until May 15, or until “the public threat is eliminated.” Businesses that provide certain financial activities are considered essential businesses that may remain open. For example, monetary authorities and businesses engaged in credit intermediation and related activities, securities commodity contracts, and other financial investment and related activities, insurance carriers and related activities, and funds, trusts, and other financial activities may remain open. An FAQ was also issued to address questions regarding non-essential closures.
