Editorial Notes :
Due to a clerical error, the effective date listed for 216-RICR-10-05-5 was erroneously submitted. This emergency amendment was intended to be effective on 11/4/2020. The ineffective date has also been altered to correspond with the dates assigned to the previous amendment and an extension granted pursuant to Executive Order 20-111.
Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril :
COVID-19, the new disease caused by novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has been deemed a global pandemic. It continues to spread and threatens to overwhelm the state’s ability to respond. Aggressive and sustained efforts are necessary to slow the spread of COVID-19 to lessen the strain on our health care system. By promoting compliance of these executive orders, the public’s health, safety and welfare can be assured.
