ICYMI: Rhode Island was up to 11,614 confirmed coronavirus cases on Tuesday, and 444 residents had died. There were 277 people in the hospital, 72 in intensive care, and 53 were on ventilators.

Health experts have long warned that the data we have on the coronavirus is only as good as the number of people that get tested, which is why states across the country have been encouraged to ramp up testing as they begin to reopen their economies.

As you have probably heard, Rhode Island checks in as the best state in the country when it comes to testing per capita, far ahead of New York and the rest of New England.

But who is getting tested and where do they live? The state Department of Health has provided in-depth information about Rhode Island’s confirmed cases, and it is now breaking down the number of tests in each community. Here’s a look at the most-tested municipalities in the state.

| Rhode Map wants to hear from you. If you've got a scoop or a link to an interesting news story in Rhode Island, e-mail us at RInews at globe.com.

⚓ Governor Gina Raimondo said for the first time Tuesday that it’s likely some state employees will have to be furloughed as Rhode Island seeks to close a massive budget gap, but she’s holding out hope that Congress will approve a stimulus plan that will help states backfill lost revenue.

⚓ Ed Fitzpatrick has already given you the best Rhode Island-centric movies and books. Today he looks at the best songs related to the Ocean State. These lists should get you through a few more months (at least!) of isolation.

⚓ For those PawSox fans holding out hope that the team’s new stadium in Worcester will fall apart, this won’t make you happy: Construction appears to be moving forward.

⚓ Dr. Anthony Fauci was pretty clear with Congress yesterday that he doesn’t expect a vaccine or treatment for the coronavirus to be widely available by this fall. My colleague Deirdre Fernandes explains what that might mean for colleges.

⚓ Congratulations to WPRI, WJAR, and The Public’s Radio on winning several regional Edward R. Murrow Awards.
