Our percent positive rate among 20-to-29-year-olds is significantly higher than the overall rate. This isn’t because they’re more susceptible to the virus. It’s because too many young people aren’t following the rules.

Today, I have one ask of every Rhode Islander: when you are outside your household, wear your mask and keep your distance. Let’s recommit to doing these two simple things everywhere we go – even when we’re with close friends or family. We can stop the spread together.

The disturbing and racist image of Ralph Northam was not acceptable 30 years ago, and it is not acceptable today. Gov. Northam can no longer serve the best interests of Virginians. It is time for Gov. Northam to resign and allow Lt. Gov. Fairfax to lead Virginia forward.

Thank you to everyone heeding our warnings and following the rules. Please remind everyone you know to do the same. Call your family and friends. Remind them: We can’t protect you if you don’t follow the rules. This isn’t a joke. These aren’t suggestions. This is serious.

@GovRaimondo
: We have cases traced back to a house party with 50+ people; a baby shower; a large birthday party at a bar; pool party; sports banquet. In each of these, the patterns were the same – gathering in groups, mingling, not wearing a mask, and not socially distancing.
