The number of new coronavirus cases in Rhode Island decreased significantly from 430 on Saturday to 310 on Sunday. However, Governor Gina Raimondo cautions that a one day drop is not a trend, and reminded Rhode Islanders to continue practicing social distancing. The total number of cases in the state is 7,439. Eleven new fatalities bring the total number of deaths to 226.
The RI Veterans' Home has recorded its first case of COVID-19. Raimondo says that the National Guard will be assisting with infection control and other tasks in order to avoid the spread of the virus at the home.
