Rhode Island leads the country in new COVID-19 cases, and officials fear things could get worse
As Rhode Island’s public schools prepared to reopen in September, Governor Gina Raimondo sounded as upbeat as she had at any point during the pandemic.

Rhode Island now leads the country with an average daily case rate of 122.9 per 100,000 people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Connecticut and Massachusetts have positive rates of 74.2 and 65.6 per 100,000, respectively.
