Reach out to your rabbis and community leaders for guidance. I know all of our faith leaders are trying to find ways to stay engaged with their congregations virtually. — PolitiTweet.org

For the members of our Jewish community, I want to acknowledge that this year’s Passover holiday will be different. You won't be able to celebrate physically with friends and family as you’re accustomed to doing, but I encourage you to find ways to celebrate together virtually. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Over the weekend, I talked about Palm Sunday and how hard it is to not be with our faith communities to observe traditions. I also want to recognize Passover, which starts at sundown on Wednesday. — PolitiTweet.org

Rhode Islanders can go to https://t.co/N9yycIfboH tomorrow to apply. — PolitiTweet.org

Late last night, we got direction from the U.S. Department of Labor. I’m happy to say that starting tomorrow at 8am, gig economy workers, small business owners, the self-employed, & others who are otherwise ineligible for unemployment will be able to put in their applications. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I have a bit of good news to offer for the thousands of people who are out of work and are not typically covered for unemployment. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sad to share that we've lost two more Rhode Islanders to Coronavirus. Our hearts go out to their loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the hard work of so many, today we’re proud to launch a new partnership with @CVSHealth that doubles our testing capacity and provides on-the-spot results to thousands of Rhode Islanders. https://t.co/fnTZqumaev — PolitiTweet.org

Keep it up, Ariana. Thanks for helping me get the word out! — PolitiTweet.org

If you’ve been ordered to be tested, you’re a Medicaid member, & you have no other transportation options, call MTM & they will schedule you a ride. Visit https://t.co/KXPIxph8JB or call 1-855-330-9131. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

It’s so important that everyone who needs to be tested can be tested, but we know that transportation may be an issue for some. I’m proud to announce that we now have transportation assistance in place for Medicaid members who don't have other options. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

We need your help to know where there are problems. I’m asking that you report your concerns to the Department of Business Regulation. You can visit https://t.co/FKw119hSxb or call 889-5550. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

If you get to the grocery store & see a lot of cars or a long line, consider coming back later. You should only be sending one person to run essential errands. Don’t take the whole family. And please, just shop for the essential items you need. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I want to talk to everyone again about following the rules. We still hear far too many reports of crowds in large stores. I don’t know how many times I have to say this. We can’t protect you if you don’t follow the rules. We need you to hunker down and do the right thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I want you to make a list of more acts of kindness you can do this week. Maybe you ask an elderly neighbor if you can do their grocery shopping, or write a special thank you note to your child’s teacher. It might seem small, but these are the type of things that keep us going. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I also asked you to think about one kind thing you could do for someone else. Your assignment is a little bigger this week. We don’t know how long this will go on, and we’re all off our routines. We need kindness every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

We really hope you don’t get sick. But I’m asking you again to do this because if you get sick & you’ve already done this exercise, it will be much easier to trace who you’ve been in contact with. You should do this every day while it’s fresh in your mind. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Recently, I gave everyone an assignment. I asked you to start keeping a daily log of where you go & who you’re physically in contact with. For most of you, this list should be short. For those of you who have to go to work outside of the house, the list will be longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I'm very sad to share that we've lost 8 more Rhode Islanders to Coronavirus. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends at this heartbreaking time. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to our first responders, and to all Rhode Islanders. We will get through this together. https://t.co/5zbjR6n2RW — PolitiTweet.org

I understand Bishop Knisely and Bishop Tobin have directed churches to not make palm available for pickup or distribution. I want to stress how important this is & thank them both for issuing this guidance. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I want to make a special note about Palm Sunday tomorrow. Unfortunately, we know that this virus lives on surfaces for long periods of time, which means it's incredibly important to not distribute palm. It just isn't safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Part of the weekend routine for many of us includes being with our faith communities, & it’s hard to be without physical gatherings at our churches, synagogues, mosques, & other gathering places. I want to continue to thank all of our religious communities for canceling services. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

That’s just the beginning. RIers all across our state are coming together & finding ways to support each other. To each and every one of you: thank you. Thank you for stepping up. Thank you for pushing through when you’re tired. We can’t do this without you. — PolitiTweet.org
