COVID-19 Information

Beginning the week of February 21, 2022, the RIDOC will no longer be supplying COVID data summaries on a daily basis; instead, the Department will move to reporting data three times per week. The data will be published to this page on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, excluding holidays.

RIDOC has been proactive in its mitigation efforts and response planning for COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, as the health and safety of the people who live and work within the Department is our priority. RIDOC will continue to take swift and assertive action in response to this public health emergency.

This page is updated frequently, but please be patient. COVID-19 information and practice changes are ongoing, sometimes happening daily. RIDOC strives to notify staff and offenders of these changes as quickly as possible.
