DELAWARE
Checkpoints used to screen nonresidents
Delaware police are enforcing Gov. John Carney’s latest order to blunt the spread of covid-19, in part with checkpoints designed to discourage out-of-state visitors from entering the state.
Carney’s (D) order allows any Delaware law enforcement officer to stop a vehicle with out-of-state tags except when they’re traveling on interstates.
State police did just that as they stood outside a Claymont shopping center Friday. Officers asked out-of-state drivers among the 500 who passed through whether they had essential business at the shopping center and turned them back if they didn’t, the News Journal of Wilmington reported.
No citations were issued or arrests made during Friday’s operation.
Carney’s order also tells out-of-state travelers, with some exceptions, to self-quarantine for 14 days if they arrive in Delaware.

Mormons hold conference without crowd: Leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sat six feet apart Saturday inside an empty room as they carried out the faith's signature conference by adhering to social distancing guidelines, offering a stark reminder of how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting religious practices. The speeches Saturday morning from a small auditorium in Salt Lake City were being live-streamed during the first crowdless conference since World War II. Normally, top leaders sit side by side onstage with the religion's well-known choir behind them and some 20,000 people attending each of the five sessions over two days in a cavernous conference center.
Astronomers spot 'missing link' black hole: Scientists have detected a midsize black hole — considered the "missing link" in the understanding of these celestial brutes — eviscerating an unfortunate star that strayed too close. Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope and two X-ray observatories, the researchers determined that the black hole is more than 50,000 times the mass of our sun and 740 million light-years from Earth in a dwarf galaxy, one containing far fewer stars than our Milky Way.
