DOVER, Del. - Delaware Gov. John Carney says he is getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

The state opened its vaccination waiting list to anyone 50 or older on Tuesday.
State officials reported 88,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and another 5,300 probable cases as of Friday afternoon. More than 414,000 doses of the vaccine have been administered to date.
