DOVER, Del. (AP) — Democratic Gov. John Carney was forced to postpone his scheduled State of the State address on Thursday because of illness, his office said.
Officials provided few details in a statement, saying only that Carney has “a fever and mild symptoms” but was in good spirits. A spokeswoman later said Carney, 67, had tested negative for COVID-19.
The State of the State Address will be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined.
Carney announced in May 2022 that, after receiving the coronavirus vaccine and two booster shots, he had tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing mild symptoms. Carney also tested positive for COVID-19 in January 2023, again saying he was experiencing mild symptoms.
Carney is in the final year of his second term as governor. He has formed a campaign committee as he explores a possible bid for mayor of Wilmington, Delaware’s largest city.
