Protesters who planned to attend Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee's Thursday press conference in Woonsocket were asked by police to leave before it began, according to local media outlets. Anti-vaccine protesters, many of whom were not wearing masks, were photographed by local reporters holding signs in the area where the press conference later took place. One photo taken by a reporter with the Providence-based news station WJAR showed Woonsocket's police chief engaged in discussion with some of the protesters.
