There will be no activation fee, no usage fee, and no overage fee. You can turn on the hot spot and use it without charge until May 13. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Today, I’m announcing that all households that have a smart phone with a WiFi hot spot feature and have cell phone service from the four most common providers in our state will now be able to activate that hot spot feature for free. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

We know that not every student has access to WiFi at home, and we've been working nonstop to find solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I want to recognize our brand new Providence Turnaround Superintendent @HarrisonPeters. He’s doing phenomenal work with family outreach. Under his leadership, more than 10,000 chromebooks were distributed to families across the city. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, I promised we would be back today with an important update on schools. Today, I am announcing distance learning in RI will continue through April. Thank you to all the teachers, students, families, principals, superintendents, and staff who are making this work. — PolitiTweet.org

I am so sad to share that we've lost another Rhode Islander to Coronavirus. Our condolences are with their loved ones, and we are thinking of everyone affected by this virus as we continue fighting its spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I asked everyone to do something kind for someone else. Offer to get groceries. Call an older family member. Volunteer. Tell me about what you did or what someone did for you. We’re all in this together. #BeKind — PolitiTweet.org

My top priority all along has been protecting the health and safety of Rhode Islanders, just like Governor Cuomo is doing for the people of New York. No matter where you live, we know these are difficult times, and we are all in it together. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I also need everyone to think about the small group of people you’re going to limit your contact to in the week ahead. Yesterday, I announced no more gatherings larger than 5. We also need to limit our interactions to the same small group. Please think about who that is for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I’m giving everyone an assignment today: Let’s all try to think of one thing we can do for someone else - make a friendly phone call, pick up groceries, volunteer, donate. Find ways to be kind. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I also want to remind everyone that the DMV in Cranston is open by appointment only, and all of the field offices are currently closed. Please refer to https://t.co/7l9d9bwHTk for more information, and only make an appointment if you absolutely need to. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

@CareDotCom I also have an announcement regarding the DMV. We are now giving RIers a 90-day extension on expirations for March or April. That goes beyond the 30-day extension we announced a few weeks ago. This applies to all licenses, registrations, inspections, permits, & temporary plates. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

@CareDotCom This will ensure that individuals on Medicaid today remain on Medicaid and have access to care for the duration of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

@CareDotCom It’s more important than ever that RIers have access to health insurance. RI Medicaid will be suspending all terminations and quarterly income verifications for the duration of this emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I recognize that some RIers will still need access to child care, and all RIers have access to our partnership with @CareDotCom. If you are looking for care, you can go to https://t.co/zj7cOxYswu. Those interested in offering care can visit https://t.co/wkDlADIBRR. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Today, I have an announcement that I had hoped to avoid making. Effective tomorrow, we are suspending all child care licenses until April 4. After that date, we will evaluate this week by week. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I'm devastated that we've lost another Rhode Islander to Coronavirus. Our deepest sympathies are with their friends and family during this difficult time. We continue to keep those impacted by this virus in our thoughts and prayers every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

My press conference with @RIHEALTH will begin shortly. Watch live: https://t.co/GLmsT6LZCA — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Starting Monday, all non-essential retail businesses must shut down their stores. I don’t make this decision lightly, but I’m hearing too many reports of crowded stores. So for now, we need you to shop online to support your local retailers. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I want to make a note to commuters. As I’ve already said, if you’re able to work from home, you're required to do so. If you live in RI and work in another state at a job where you can’t work from home, you can go to work. But when you come home to RI, you must self-quarantine. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

In addition, starting immediately, any person coming to RI by any mode of transportation after visiting any other state for a non-work-related purpose must self-quarantine for 14 days. This restriction will not apply to public health, public safety or healthcare workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Starting immediately, all gatherings of more than 5 people are banned. This means everywhere. If you have to go to work, you should be limiting your time there and interacting with as few people as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

You can go outside to get some fresh air, but if you leave your home, keep the time out to a minimum and always keep 6 feet away from others. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Today, I’m issuing a stay at home order that will be in place until April 13. This means unless you’re getting food, medicine, gas or going to work, you need to stay home. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

I am heartbroken that we have lost two Rhode Islanders to Coronavirus. We extend our deepest condolences to their loved ones, and we continue to keep those who are affected by this virus in our thoughts and prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo

Today, I also announced extensions to several executive orders on travel, business closures, and more. Please see those details here. — PolitiTweet.org
