WOONSOCKET — CVS Health plans to lay off 198 Rhode Islanders at the company's headquarters in Woonsocket and Cumberland, the company announced on Friday. The cuts will be effective Oct. 21, spokesman Mike DeAngelis said in an email. The Woonsocket-based pharmacy chain announced earlier this month that it intends to lay off 5,000 of its 300,000 employees nationwide. At the time, the company said that it would be mostly corporate positions getting cut, rather than public-facing jobs in stores. After the cut, Woonsocket's employee count in Rhode Island will be about 7,500 people, DeAngelis said.
