Rhode Island

By known positive tests, the 10 states with the highest per capita number of cases are: Washington New York Colorado Massachusetts Louisiana Rhode Island New Jersey South Dakota New Hampshire Georgia

End of day, 3/17, we have confirmed cases in all 50 states + DC and 3 territories, almost 6000 in total. WA and NY are now over 1000 cases each. Of the smaller states, Louisiana, Colorado, and Rhode Island look like hot spots. https://t.co/LzKJBXTD0J

New York accelerated past Washington in per capita positive tests. Here’s the top 10:

New York Washington New Jersey Louisiana DC Michigan Massachusetts Colorado Rhode Island Illinois

New York continues to have the highest positive tests per capita, an indication of both the intensity of testing there and the severity of the outbreak. Here’s the top 10:

New York Washington New Jersey Louisiana DC Michigan Illinois Vermont Colorado Rhode Island

This is the state of things now.

(Note that OR, KS, KY LA, PA, NH, and RI did not report any new cases today.) https://t.co/hgR7FfanYk

Our daily update is published. We see slightly lower numbers than earlier in the week, probably due to the holiday weekend. 6 states (CT, KS, KY, LA, MN, RI) did not report at all, and some others had lower numbers than usual.

Still: states reported 52k new cases. https://t.co/x830ffyPzh

Our daily update is published. Six states (AR/CT/KS/KY/NH/RI) did not report by our publish time today. Based on past numbers, it looks like many more states reduced testing and reporting over the holiday weekend.

42.5K new cases today. 654K new tests. 209 deaths reported. https://t.co/gqOJHAKu5u

Four states—Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, and Rhode Island—haven’t reported new data in two days. Kansas’s percent-positive rate was rapidly rising before the weekend began. https://t.co/26sWeMmghw

Our daily update is published. We have many incomplete reports from states today and two states missing at our cutoff time (AK and RI). Today’s data reflects the holiday weekend dip in testing and reporting.

47K new cases today. 518K new tests. 242 deaths (corrected from 158). https://t.co/7G4xWqcWFb

Today, ID is back, but we’re missing hospitalization updates from states including AL, AR, CT, IA, LA, MI, MO, MS, NH, OR, RI, SC, and WY. Some due to the new HHS directive, others because it’s the weekend.

We will keep reporting on the availability of this data.

Where possible, we now use states’ “Test Encounters” or “Specimens” as the unit for these total tests, rather than “Unique People.” (This is all fairly complicated, there’s tons of detail in the blog post.) So far, we’ve switched CO, MA, ND, and RI w/ many more on deck.

We'll continue to note API updates here as they happen. Data users can visit https://t.co/rRGtTM2tRI for more detailed explanations.

Thanks to our wonderful data quality team for their tireless work!

Our daily update is published. States reported 944k tests, 47k cases, 34k currently hospitalized, and 464 COVID-19 deaths, with six states not reporting today: CT, KS, MI, MO, NH, RI. https://t.co/tNvtsFLBoF

Wisconsin and four other states—Connecticut, Louisiana, Kansas, Rhode Island—did not update their case numbers today.

Today's case count was high, despite the absence of these states. https://t.co/7Bh16lsBko

AL, CO, OR, UT, SD, and RI all reported record high case counts. Both ND and SD are reporting more than 1,000 cases per million people. https://t.co/gwe2HgVquJ

The following jurisdictions did not report today: AS, CT, FL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MP, NC, NH, OH, RI, SC, SD, UT, VI, VT, WY. 10 more reported partial data. Some will report two days of data tomorrow.

Zooming into the state level, more than 10 states broke case records today: AK, AR, AZ, DE, IN, MA, ME, NJ, PA, RI, and VT. Note: AZ had a higher count on Dec. 1, but it was a data backlog. https://t.co/ao6T6EQxiH

In RI, more than 1 in 8 Latinx people have tested positive for COVID-19, compared to 1 in 31 white people. In SD, 1 in 7 Native Americans has tested positive for COVID-19. Per capita cases in this population have been the highest in SD for the last 3 months.

Switching to a per-capita view, Rhode Island saw the highest 7-day average of cases per million people in the country today—1,150. Only 12 states are below 500 cases per capita. https://t.co/ycFVu4btd1

20 states provided no update: AK, CA, CT, DC, ID, KS, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MP, NC, ND, NH, OH, RI, SC, SD, UT, VT.

7 other states made partial updates.

At publish time, we had no updates from 7 of the 56 states and territories we track: AR, CT, KS, MI, MP, RI, and WA. Seven additional states did not report current hospitalizations today: HI, MN, MS, NV, OK, OR, and WI.

The race and ethnicity data reported by states shows declining—but persistent—inequities. 1 in 6 Latinx people in Rhode Island and Utah has tested positive for COVID-19 since the pandemic began. https://t.co/C793FvKmIj

Today’s update includes no data from CT, KS, LA, or RI, and no data except hospitalizations from AL. The MA update includes data from approximately 24,800 PCR tests not reported yesterday due to a technical problem.

A reminder that some states do not report COVID-19 data on the weekends, and today's figures are missing updates from: AK, CT, KS, LA, MP, NM, RI, and WY. https://t.co/5XpgjRdDH0
