Rhode Island
Rhode Island has issued a “social gathering limit” which prohibits anyone from inside the state from spending time in a social setting with people outside of their household.
Governor Gina Raimondo tweeted, “Starting today, we’re lowering the social gathering limit to a single household. This means you should not be spending time socially with anyone you don’t live with — this includes on Thanksgiving.”
Gov. Raimondo is also issued a “two-week pause” starting the Monday after Thanksgiving. Houses of worship will have a 25% indoor capacity. Bar areas, in-person colleges, offices where telecommute is possible, and indoor sports facilities will be closed until mid-December.

Beginning next Monday, Nov. 30, we’re entering a 2-week pause. This is the key to our winter strategy. During this time, we’ll be able to prevent overwhelming our hospital system without the need for a total lockdown. Here’s what the pause will look like: pic.twitter.com/EcXz9UBZSN
