Newport News travel risk to the average Rhode Islander remains

Calling for calm but acknowledging the likelihood of the continued spread of coronavirus in Rhode Island, Gov. Gina Raimondo on Monday declared a state of emergency and announced new steps aimed at protecting the elderly and supporting workers affected by the virus.

This isnt a time for panic. The risk to the average Rhode Islander remains low. However, its a time for action. We fully expect that there will be more cases. We are seeing that in other parts of the world and we are seeing that in other states, Raimondo said during a Monday afternoon media briefing.

The emergency declaration cites the dangers to health and life posed by COVID-19 the formal name for the virus and directs the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency to activate its emergency operations center and related response plans. It additionally authorizes the Rhode Island National Guard to activate its personnel to assist in the response if necessary.

Those include waiving the seven-day waiting period requirement for Unemployment Insurance claims and claims filed through the WorkShare short-term compensation program waiving the seven-day out-of-work requirement for Temporary Disability Insurance and Temporary Caregiver Insurance and waiving medical certification requirements for people under quarantine due to potential exposure to COVID-19.
