All of Rhode Island Now Considered Medium-Risk Area Providence, Bristol, Kent, Newport, and Washington Counties are now considered medium-risk areas according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) COVID-19 Community Levels risk assessment. CDC determines risk level using three metrics: new COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 population in the past seven days, the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients, and total new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population in the past seven days.

If you are in a medium-risk area, RIDOH recommends taking additional precautions, including: • Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. • If you are immunocompromised or high risk, have a plan for testing and talk to your healthcare provider about protecting yourself. • If you have household or social contact with someone at high risk, consider self-testing and wearing a mask when indoors with them. • When indoors in crowded settings, consider wearing a mask regardless of vaccination status. This is especially important for people who are immunocompromised. • Get tested if you have symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. If you test positive: • Talk to your doctor about treatment • Stay home and use this calculator to determine how long you need to quarantine or isolate • Use the RIDOH COVID-19 Survey to let people you were with know you tested positive. • If you test yourself for COVID-19 at home, report your result to RIDOH at portal.ri.gov/s/selftest. CDC’s full set of recommendation is available online.
