Changed Schedule For Raimondo's Weekly Coronavirus Conferences

PROVIDENCE, RI — Gov. Gina Raimondo did not hold her weekly coronavirus news conference Thursday, likely due to the significant snowstorm that hit the region Wednesday night into Thursday. Usually held on Thursdays at 1 p.m., the weekly news conferences will be held on different days for the next few weeks.

A spokesperson for the governor's office said Raimondo will address the public on Friday at 1 p.m. this week. Next week, the news conference will be held on Tuesday at 1 p.m. to accommodate the Christmas holiday in the second half of the week.

The governor will not address the public during the week between Christmas and New Years, and will return to the stage Jan. 7 at 1 p.m. At that time, the usual Thursday schedule will resume.
