The Rhode Island Department of Health recored 919 new COVID-19 cases in the state on Tuesday.
The exploding numbers come as the United States recorded 139,855 cases in one day — a new record — which is up 69% in just the past 14 days.
Nationally, there are over 62,000 people hospitalized due to coronavirus complications.
Dr. Michael Fine, the former Rhode Island Director of Health who flagged the state’s upswing in cases in September and has warned that the state needed be more aggressive in controlling the spread, says Rhode Island needs a new strategy.
“What we are doing is simply too little and too late,” said Fine.
