During the pandemic, the Rhode Island MRC has provided surge staffing to congregate care facilities, led #COVID19 testing efforts (administering more than 130,000 tests), and is now administering vaccines across the state through MRC-run clinics.

Get tested, and get tested often. Getting tested is one of the simplest things you can do to keep your friends and family safe. Testing is easy and there are plenty of appointments open. Everyone in RI can sign up for a free test at PORTAL.RI.GOV.

Overdose deaths in Rhode Island may be bending the curve.
We still have a long way to go, but there are a lot of passionate people working hard to get us there.
