As GoLocal reported this week, former Rhode Island Director of Health Michael Fine said that Central Falls is America’s hotspot for the coronavirus -- the city has a higher percentage of cases than in New York City.

RIDOH, however, has been reporting “503” for the number of cases for Central Falls — for days -- and has not updated any of the other Rhode Island cities or towns.
