PROVIDENCE, RI — With a foot or more of snow in the forecast for Rhode Island starting Wednesday night, all state-run coronavirus test sites will close on Thursday. The closure includes both indoor and outdoor test sites, according to the Rhode Island Department of Heath. State-run sites include all tests scheduled through portal.ri.gov, as well as the K-12 school testing system. Once testing resumes, anyone with a test scheduled for Thursday will not have to make a new appointment. Instead, they can go to the test site they were scheduled for at any time and show a screenshot or printout of their confirmation notice to get tested. The department will announce on social media when testing will resume. Read more: Winter Storm Warning Expanded To RI; When To Expect Snow Arrival
