1. The Rhode Island Health Department is asking that healthcare providers and patients file online reports of unvaccinated workers in violation of the Oct. 1 mandated vaccine deadline. The chief of the Center for Professional Boards and Licensing at the health department has said any licensees who are not vaccinated by the Oct. 1 deadline, unless they have a valid medical reason, will be subject to fines and administrative action. The RI Health Department will begin performing random audits of each license type in order to assess compliance. (The Boston Globe)
2. A Providence police officer was ambushed and attacked downtown by a suspect he was attempting to apprehend. The officer was admitted to the hospital after having been beaten by the suspect, who was trying to take the officer's gun out of his holster. This incident is still under investigation.
