Rhode Island reports cumulative and outbreak data. Data is cumulative since March 1, 2020. COVID Tracking Project puts Assisted Living facility data in the Assisted Living category, and Long-Term Care facility data in the Lumped or Other facilities category. Rhode Island reports facility-level data for Assisted Living Facilities and Long-Term Care Facilities. They report cumulative and outbreak resident cases and deaths. Rhode Island defines an outbreak as a facility with two or more resident cases in the past 14 days. Rhode Island provides facility-level data. Rhode Island reports ranges—not precise numbers—for its long-term-care data, and CTP collects the bottom of the range. As such, Rhode Island's data is an undercount and should be interpreted with caution.
