We look forward to continuing to work with public health experts to further expand visitation as soon as it is safe to do so. Thank you. See More

RIDOC’s Covid-19 update 05/28/2020 Today’s community stats: Sadly,... 22 more people have died in RI due to Covid-19. This brings our total number of fatalities in RI to 677. There are 124 new cases of Covid-19 in RI, bringing our state’s total to 14,494. Currently, 222 people are hospitalized in RI with Covid-19 illness. RIDOC Transparency report: As of today, there are a total of fourteen (14) RIDOC confirmed staff who have tested positive for COVID19, and four confirmed sentenced housed inmates. Awaiting trial / New Commitments: There are currently no new commitments in our custody who are confirmed positive with the virus. We have had a total of 6 in the past two months. All CDC and RIDOH protocols were followed. Transparency chart: This morning RIDOC Director Patricia A. Coyne-Fague met with the Assistant Directors (with masks and observing 6 ft of separation) and discussed RIDOC’s data gathering and reporting system. They have come up with a system that will be consistent, timely and more accurate. Unfortunately, that means the system requires more time to get it in place. We are hopeful that, as we build a more robust and sustainable system, we will be able to report out full data again next week. Remember: Wear your mask – wash your hands – keep your distance. Don’t forget your contact journals, and please take good care of each other. Thank you and be safe! See More
