Rhode Island Coronavirus Test Sites To Close For Snowstorm
All coronavirus test sites run by the state will close for inclement weather.
PROVIDENCE, RI — With a foot or more of snow in the forecast for Rhode Island starting Wednesday night, all state-run coronavirus test sites will close on Thursday.
The closure includes both indoor and outdoor test sites, according to the Rhode Island Department of Heath. State-run sites include all tests scheduled through portal.ri.gov, as well as the K-12 school testing system.
Once testing resumes, anyone with a test scheduled for Thursday will not have to make a new appointment. Instead, they can go to the test site they were scheduled for at any time and show a screenshot or printout of their confirmation notice to get tested.
