Governor Dan McKee appealed directly to Rhode Islanders on Wednesday in a video message urging them to take COVID-19 seriously over the holidays.
McKee said not doing so presents a risk to the progress that the state has made in the pandemic.
McKee said over 95-percent of adults have been at-least partially-vaccinated and said now is the time to get booster shots.
Rhode Island reported zero new COVID deaths on Wednesday and about seven-hundred new virus cases.
Meantime, the state is moving out of the mass vaccination business. They will be closing the Cranston Mass Vaccination site in the next couple of months and moving toward more community based facilities. 100 of them should be on line within the next several weeks.
