Rhode Island COVID hospitalizations have increased to more than 200, according to the RI Department of Health. The agency's epidemiologist warned physicians last week that due to diminished staffing levels at Rhode Island’s hospitals, the capacity for COVID cases is approximately 175.
In addition, COVID cases across the country are increasing quickly. Nationally, cases have jumped 27% in the past 14 days -- more than 120,000 new cases were reported on Tuesday.
