Recent news that ownership of Concord Mall is changing hands has reignited speculation about the fate of the mall that’s been a mainstay on Concord Pike in North Wilmington since the late 1960s.

Contributor Eileen Dallabrida has reported on the state of malls in the First State over the past few years.  This week, she digs deeper into Concord Mall’s ownership change and what it could mean.

At least five people in the United States are confirmed to have contracted the coronavirus, which has spread from China’s Wuhan Province infecting more than 8,000 people and killing more than 170.

Delaware health officials say one individual in Kent County is currently being tested for the virus, but add there is no immediate threat of coronavirus becoming widespread in the First State.

Delaware Public Media’s Nick Ciolino recently talked to Jennifer Horney, a professor in the University of Delaware’s Department of Health Sciences Epidemiology program, about the coronavirus and how state agencies in Delaware are monitoring this evolving situation.
