It’s very simple: My mask protects you. Your mask protects me. When I see you without a mask, I conclude that you don’t care if you infect me or my family.

> Minutes ago, the Mayor announce that all parks in Providence would be open on Saturday for local access only with restrictions highlighted in press release below. Additionally, there will be no parking at Providence parks. I am excited to share this news with you and are seek your assistance to help us know how it goes. If you or representatives from your group can be out and about this weekend to welcome people back (from a safe distance wearing a mask) that would be great. Please let us know if there are any issues we should address, and report all safety concerns to local police dispatch and emergencies to 911. Please also know that while we have been in emergency operations, we have not been able to attend to most parks the way we usually do. We are getting back on track, but if the grass is a little longer, or things are not the way they usually are, they will be soon.

>
> Parks Open, Residents Urged to Continue Following Social Distancing Practices
>
>
>
> PROVIDENCE, R.I. ? Mayor Jorge O. Elorza today announced an executive order effective Saturday, May 9th that aligns current City guidance with the latest State guidance on mitigating the spread of COVID-19, extends some existing provisions and expands greenspace access for local use.
>
> ?We are working closely with State partners and health officials in taking a measured approach that reflects the needs of our community and keeps our residents safe,? said Mayor Jorge Elorza. ?It is important now more than ever that every resident and business continue to follow the social distancing practices and hygiene guidelines that will prevent a second wave of cases. We continue to offer resources and testing to residents in need of these supports and have worked to expand those options for our city.?
>
> Through this executive order, the following establishments, facilities and operations will be open to the pubic:
> Providence parks, green spaces and bike paths will be open for local access and active use only.*
> Farmers markets can resume in public parks under RIDEM guidance.
> Non-essential retail establishments may open to the public, subject to all restrictions placed upon non-essential retail stores established by Executive Order of the Governor of Rhode Island.**
> Fitness centers and venues of all kinds; including gyms, health clubs, spas, aquatic centers, yoga studios, martial arts studios, massage parlors, etc. shall remain closed.
> *Fields, courts, playgrounds and parking at parks will remain closed. Gatherings of any kind in parks, green spaces and bike paths will not be permitted.
>
> ** The Providence Place Mall will remain closed. Stores that offer separate entry ways (unique to the individual store) may open to the public consistent with restrictions placed upon non-essential retail stores established by Executive Order of the Governor of Rhode Island.
>
>
>
> Residents are urged to follow all current social distancing and hygiene practices and to wear masks when using these spaces in accordance with recent guidance provided by the Governor. Additionally, through this executive order, all city buildings will remain closed and all other COVID-19 related restrictions detailed in previous executive orders will be extended to remain in effect through June 5.
>
>
>
> Restaurants are permitted to offer delivery, drive-thru and pick up services only. Businesses that are found in violation of these restrictions will be issued emergency closure letters and will remain closed until further notice. Ahead of guidance from the State, outdoor dining plans are being developed in anticipation of providing safe dining options at world-renowned restaurants in Providence. Applications for expansion of premises opportunities and a survey for participating businesses will be released next week.
>
>
>
> Essential city services will continue to be accessible remotely. Local resources are available as defined on our website.

> The executive order does say that masks are not needed when social distancing is not an issue, but that does not exempt walking outside. The executive order applies to "any person who is in a place open to the public, whether indoors or outdoors." Many parts of our neighborhood are busy with pedestrians and will get busier as the weather continues to improve. Two people passing each other on a sidewalk are within 6 feet of each other. So unless you can guarantee that you are not going to ever pass anyone, you would need to wear a mask. Walking around fully masked over the past few weeks I have generally found that I have to walk in the street to avoid being within 6 feet of unmasked people. For those who have front porches that are close to the sidewalk, their ability to use and enjoy their own property is being limited by the fact that others refuse to mask while walking within six feet of a porch. The exemption is only for circumstances in which you can "easily, continuously, and m
> easurably maintain at least six (6) feet of distance from other people" so if you will even temporarily be near others you need to keep the mask on.

> So yes, social distancing is an issue while walking outside in our neighborhood, and yes, you need to wear the mask while walking in the neighborhood. It incumbent upon all of us to care about the fact that we live in a community and to protect each other, and that's what mask-wearing does. And if you don't want to wear a mask, that's fine--just don't enter our shared public space. It is inconceivable to me that so many members of our community cannot bring themselves to take this simple measure that makes all of us safer.

> That?s one of the thoughts behind the current Slow Streets pilot initiative (although I think that Slow Streets was conceived well before the Pandemic hit our state) ? to allow pedestrians to have more opportunity to pass each other while maintaining social distance by opening the middle of the street between the facing sidewalks.
> Two of the guidelines that the City used in locating Safe Streets were density of housing and the prevalence of yards and other private open space. More-fortunate folks (e,g, on Mount Pleasant and much of the East Side) are more likely to have a personal back yard where they can exercise and catch sunlight without physical contact with others, while there are far fewer opportunities to do so in a continuous row of triple-deckers in, say, Olneyville or the Elmwood.

About twenty years ago, when I still lived on the East Side, I guesstimated that the City must then have been losing the equivalent of two or three blocks of non-municipal greenery to tar and asphalt every year.]

> ? Ensure rapid testing of all symptomatic people. This will involve expanding the number of testing sites in Rhode Island as well as the state's mobile testing capacity.?? React quickly to outbreaks. The plan calls for an outbreak response team on the ground within four hours of multiple cases discovered in places like congregate care settings, workplaces, and other high-density areas. This team will also conduct rapid testing of any contacts who may have been exposed.?? Create an early warning system by testing groups of asymptomatic individuals. The state needs to be able to test comprehensively in high-risk settings like nursing homes or group homes. The state will also perform cyclical testing for other high-risk populations, such as healthcare workers and first responders. Early warning testing sites will be set up at high-contact workplaces and other community settings. The state will work with schools, universities, and private sector partners to set up early warning testing f
> or their own populations. And representative sampling will allow the state to better understand community spread.

> I want to thank you all for making the daily sacrifices necessary to protect the health and safety of our community. We have made considerable progress in our City?s fight against COVID-19 and we can begin to explore how we can return to our lives while keeping certain safety measure in place. But this is not the time to let down our guard or get complacent.
>
> Today I announced that we are working closely with State partners and health officials to?reopen parks and greenspaces, including bike paths and of-road trails to active use by local residents beginning Saturday, May 9. Fields, courts, playgrounds, and parking at parks however will remain closed and gatherings of any kind in these spaces will not be permitted. Residents must continue to observe social distancing guidelines by remaining?at least six feet apart?from one another and should also?wear masks whenever they leave their homes.
>
> In addition to opening these public spaces, farmers? markets and some non-essential retail establishments will be?permitted to reopen with certain restrictions?beginning Saturday, May 9 as well. It is important now more than ever that every resident and business continue to follow the social distancing practices and hygiene guidelines that will prevent a second wave of cases. All venues including gyms, spas, fitness centers, health clubs, and aquatic centers must remain closed.
>
> Restaurants must continue to offer only takeout, deliver, pickup and drive-thru options; however outdoor dining plans are being developed in anticipation of providing safe dining options at world-renowned restaurants in Providence. Applications for?seasonal expansion of premises?opportunities and a survey for interested businesses will be released next week.
>
> Residents can continue to access essential?city services. We have also compiled and continue to maintain a list of local?resources?responding to COVID-19. For more information on COVID-19 and best practices you can share, residents can visit our?website, call to connect to the Mayor?s Center for City Services by dialing 3-1-1, visit?www.PVD311.com?or download the PVD311 mobile app on your smartphone for 24/7 access.

> THE LATEST:?Rhode?Island was up to 9,933 confirmed coronavirus cases on Tuesday, and 355 residents had died. There were 327 people in the hospital, 89 in intensive care, and 62 were on ventilators.
>
> It?s safe to say that 90 days ago, there weren?t too many of us thinking about the coronavirus. Heck, 60 days ago, I was still begging my editors to let me cover the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden.
>
> Flash forward to now: The virus has rapidly moved up the list of Rhode Island?s leading causes of death, and if the projections hold, it could find itself in the top five when all is said and done.
>
> Here are the 10 leading causes of death in Rhode Island, according to the CDC. (The most recent data is from 2017, but a Department of Health spokesman said the list rarely changes at the top.)
>
> 1. Heart disease ? 2,339 deaths
> 2. Cancer ? 2,154 deaths
> 3. Accidents ? 718 deaths
> 4. Chronic lower respiratory disease ? 521 deaths??????????
> 5. Alzheimer?s disease ? 435 deaths
> 6. Stroke ? 425 deaths
> 7. Diabetes ? 275 deaths
> 8. Flu/Pneumonia ? 206 deaths
> 9. Kidney disease ? 176 deaths
> 10. Chronic liver disease/Cirrhosis ? 148 deaths
>
> The health department has already said it intends to list the coronavirus as separate from the flu/pneumonia category. At 355 deaths, the coronavirus is now almost certainly among the seven most-common causes of death in our state.
>
> Rhode Island?s leading causes of death mostly mirror the national figures, although strokes are typically ahead of Alzheimer?s disease when you look at the United States as a whole.
>
> The widely-cited projections from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation have varied widely for Rhode Island, but the researchers there now believe the state could see 485 coronavirus-related deaths by Aug. 4. That would place the coronavirus ahead of Alzheimer?s disease as a leading cause of death in Rhode Island.

> Good day. It's Wednesday, May 6, the 127th day of the year. It's National Nurses Day, the first day of National Nurses Week, which ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale. More below.
>
> Sunrise in Boston was at 5:32 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:49 p.m., for 14 hours and 17 minutes of sunlight. The waxing moon is 99 percent full.
>
> The Old Farmer's Almanac has some info about that waxing moon: It's the last so-called super moon of 2020, meaning it's closer to Earth than usual so it appears brighter. It will reach peak illumination early tomorrow morning at 6:45, but it will be below the horizon, so tonight is the best time to see it. The almanac also says this moon is called the Full Flower Moon, Mother's Moon, Milk Moon, Corn Planting Moon, Chocolate-Eating Moon, Not Shaving My Legs Moon, Bad Breath Moon, Sweatpants Moon, Bloody Mary Moon, and I think I slipped into another universe. |

> Quick summary of coronavirus news happening today:
>
> The New York Times reports?on Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner's fumbling hunt for desperately needed medical supplies as he assembled a team of about a dozen 20-something volunteers with no experience with medical equipment or government procurement procedures.
>
> Their job was to sift through thousands of messages coming in from a variety of people and organizations claiming to have or offering to acquire critical equipment. But the workers were hamstrung by the fact that they were under strict orders to pay more attention to messages and contract deals proposed by political allies and buddies of Trump who were tracked on a spreadsheet titled "V.I.P. Update."
>
> That meant the volunteers ignored tips and sources that held promise in favor of scrambling to suck up to the boss. Ill-prepared and overwhelmed, their effort produced precious little. Instead, according to one of the volunteers, it was nothing but "bureaucratic cycles of chaos."
>
> Today is the first day?that Mass. Governor Charlie Baker's mandatory mask order takes effect. It?requires?everybody to wear face coverings when in a public place, indoors or out, if they can't stay at least 6 feet apart from others.?Here's more.
>
> The Centers for Disease Control announced today?that the United States?"nationally is in the acceleration phase of the pandemic." Sounds like the perfect time to start mingling again for sure.
>
>
> As I mentioned at the top, it's National Nurses Day,?so let's pay tribute to them with a photo gallery.

If you're running and cannot stay 6 feet away from other people at all times, starting Friday, you could be subject to "civil penalties" (fines, probably) for not wearing a face mask - unless you have another compelling reason (health, developmental, extreme youth, etc.) to avoid it.

If he gets enough pushback maybe he?ll rethink it. ?Shaming? is not at all the same as speaking up, which you can do in a friendly way, and we should be able to tell the difference.

>> Subject: City Announces Launch of Additional COVID-19 Test Site with Rhode Island Free Clinic
>>
>> ?
>> Dear community leader,
>>
>> I wanted to update you regarding the new free COVID-19 testing site Providence launched today in partnership with RI Free Clinic in Upper South Providence. Testing at this site is available to uninsured, symptomatic adults who call the Clinic for an appointment.
>>
>> If you have any questions at all, please let me know!
>>
>> City Announces Launch of Additional COVID-19 Test Site with Rhode Island Free Clinic
>> Hours of Operation Extended at Existing Locations Serving Frontline Communities
>>
>> PROVIDENCE, R.I. ? Mayor Jorge O. Elorza in partnership with Rhode Island Free Clinic will launch a drive-up and walk-up COVID-19 test site at 647 Broad Street, adjacent to the Free Clinic located at 655 Broad Street. In an effort to build a robust, local testing system, the City has worked with Centerville Bank to expand operations at Clinica Esperanza to nearly double its initial launch and is continuing to identify new opportunities to serve Providence?s frontline communities.
>>
>> ?Building an efficient, equitable and accessible testing system is a critical part of our strategy to fight the spread of COVID-19 here in Providence,? said Mayor Jorge O. Elorza. ?Now, as we see the spread of this virus slow, it is as important as ever that we have a robust testing system in place. I want to thank RI Free Clinic for working with us to ensure that residents of all languages, zip codes and walks of life have access to the care they need during such a difficult time.?
>>
>> Drive-thru and walk-up COVID-19 testing will be provided by Rhode Island Free Clinic beginning Thursday, May 7, 2020, in the parking lot at 647 Broad Street. Testing at this site is available to uninsured, symptomatic adults who call the Clinic for an appointment. Bilingual personnel, materials, and signage will be available at the site. Residents are encouraged to use the COVID hotline, 401-92-COVID, or visit www.rifreeclinic.org for detailed clinic information.
>>
>> ?We want the community to know that in addition to tests being free, services at Rhode Island Free Clinic are free, bilingual and comprehensive,? said Clinic CEO, Marie Ghazal. ?Rhode Island Free Clinic has a strong primary, behavioral and dental health home for our uninsured community, with physicians during regular hours and behavioral health services located on premises. We?re grateful to Mr. Joe Paolino for working with us to test on his property.?
>>
>> Additional testing support has been supplemented by supplies from the State of Rhode Island. The City continues to work closely with the State and the National Guard to identify opportunities to establish and expand COVID-19 test sites. Those interested in partnering with the City should contact Deputy Chief of Staff Theresa Agonia at tagonia at providenceri.gov
>>
>> ?As former Mayor of Providence and a local businessman, it is my pleasure to be able to assist Rhode Island Free Clinic in setting up this test site to serve the people of South Providence,? said Joseph R. Paolino Jr., managing partner of Paolino Properties. ?Testing is too important right now for there to be any barriers. This is a time when we must face our challenges by thinking outside the box and showing compassion to those in need. Paolino Properties will not be compensated one penny for this ? our compensation is helping the people of Providence.?
>>
>> With recent additions, there are four accessible COVID-19 testing sites located at:
>>
>> Providence Community Health Center
>> Drive-up and Walk-Up Testing
>> Bailey Elementary School, 65 Gordon Avenue
