RI Sees Lowest Single-Day Coronavirus Numbers Since March

PROVIDENCE, RI — Rhode Island reached a coronavirus milestone Monday: the lowest number of single-day new coronavirus cases since the beginning of the outbreak in March. The Health Department reported 32 new cases and six deaths.

"Rhode Island is in a good place," Gov. Gina Raimondo said. "People are asking me: 'Are we in a good place?' Yes, we are in a good place."

Since Friday, there have been 18 deaths: seven on Saturday, five on Sunday and six on Monday. One victim was in their 40s, three in their 50s, one in their 60s, two in their 70s, eight in their 80s and three in their 90s. Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott, the director of the Rhode Island Department of Heath, confirmed the state's first pediatric death late last week, saying only that the victim had a "very significant" underlying condition.

The state continues to encourage certain asymptomatic, close-contact workers and anyone who has attended a peaceful protest to get tested for coronavirus.
