Delaware state government operations will come to a halt Monday as officials announce the closure of all state offices throughout New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties on February 23, 2026.
The shutdown will affect normal business operations from 8 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. as severe weather conditions pose safety concerns for state workers and the public.
Workers classified as non-essential have been instructed to stay home during the closure period. However, personnel previously identified as critical for emergency weather response will continue reporting to their assigned posts as planned.
The statewide closure affects government facilities in all three Delaware counties as officials prioritize public safety during the anticipated severe weather event.
