Last update: an hour ago

Rabies Alert: Rhode Island health officials say a stray cat in Burrillville tested positive for rabies after biting a person on Whipple Road; the bitten person has started treatment, and anyone with direct contact is urged to call RIDOH’s acute infectious disease line. Retirement Costs: A new national analysis finds it can take more than $100,000 a year to retire comfortably in many states, with Rhode Island listed among the highest-cost places. Cybersecurity in Health Insurance: Beacon Mutual says a January ransomware attack exposed personal data for about 162,000 customers, prompting a class-action lawsuit. Infectious Disease Watch: Public health experts are on high alert for outbreaks as the World Cup nears, with measles a key concern at large crowds. Health Care Funding Pressure: Brown Health’s losses are again raising questions about keeping Newport Hospital’s birthing center open, even as the state budget includes $1.6 million. Food Safety: Whole Foods Market Kitchen Minestrone Soup is recalled in multiple states due to possible undeclared shrimp.
