camwynGot my WTC responder health registry exam notification today. I've been scheduled for an appointment in Providence. Nobody closer is accepting appointments at the moment, I'm assuming due to COVID-19.
It's an hour's drive at good times of day from the nearest Zipcar lot to Providence. This would be at rush hour. I've only ever been to Providence by train.
Man, if it weren't for COVID I'd make a day trip of this, but... I'm not looking forward to this drive.
ETA: Rhode Island is currently on Massachusetts' COVID shitlist. From mass.gov:
" All visitors entering Massachusetts, including returning residents, who do not meet an exemption, are required to:
" - Complete the Massachusetts Travel Form prior to arrival, unless you are visiting from a lower-risk state designated by the Department of Public Health.
" - Quarantine for 14 days or produce a negative COVID-19 test result that has been administered up to 72-hours prior to your arrival in Massachusetts.
" If your COVID-19 test result has not been received prior to arrival, visitors, and residents must quarantine until they receive a negative test result.
The current list of COVID-19 lower-risk states includes:
Colorado
Connecticut
Maine
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Vermont
Washington"
Rhode Island is the only state in New England marked as higher risk than Massachusetts. I do not know if this is the kind of thing that can or will be changed within the time between now and then but I have a really bad feeling about this.
