PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – Rhode Island’s governor has declared a state of emergency amid growing concern over the new coronavirus.

Gov. Gina Raimondo says the order allows the state to access additional resources even though the risk of contracting the virus in Rhode Island remains low.

Raimondo said she’s also signed emergency regulations to allow residents to immediately access jobless benefits if they’re in coronavirus quarantine or caring for someone in quarantine.

Lifespan, the state’s largest hospital network, also said Monday it is immediately suspending patient visits at all of its hospitals.

Rhode Island has just three presumed cases of the virus.
