PROVIDENCE (AP) — The 7-day average coronavirus test positivity rate in Rhode Island remains well above 3% while the 7-day average of daily new cases remains above 440, according to new data.

The Rhode Island Department of Health on Wednesday reported 466 new confirmed cases the previous day and two more virus-related fatalities. There have now been more than 35,100 confirmed cases and 1,214 deaths in the state.

The new cases were out of nearly 13,000 tests, a daily positivity rate of 3.6%.

The 7-day rolling average of the positivity rate in Rhode Island has risen over the past two weeks from 2.12% on Oct. 20 to 3.35% on Tuesday.

State health departments are calculating positivity rate differently across the country, but for Rhode Island the AP calculates the rate by dividing new cases by test encounters using data from The COVID Tracking Project.

The 7-day rolling average of daily new cases in Rhode Island has risen over the past two weeks from more than 241 on Oct. 20 to almost 443 on Tuesday.

There were 169 patients with COVID-19 in Rhode Island hospitals on Monday, the most recent date for which the information was available, down from 177 the previous day. Twenty-one were in intensive care.
