Raimondo on Saturday afternoon issued an apology for failing to wear a protective mask at Friday night's protest in Providence.
“The late hours in front of the State House last night were tense and hectic, and in that moment I neglected to put on a mask. That was wrong, it was counter to our public health guidance, and I apologize. I have worked today to track down the names of those I was in contact with so that they can be added to my contact tracing notebook,” Raimondo said.
For weeks, Raimondo has been ordering Rhode Islanders to adhere to certain mandated behaviors during the coronavirus crisis.
