Facing the modeled peak week for contagion, Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vazquez announced the extension of the quarantine and emergency period [they call it a curfew, locally] through May 25. [However...]
The order is accompanied by a relaxation to the types of businesses that can open, according to the recommendations presented by the Economic Task Force, such as the construction, manufacturing and health industries.
"We are facing a real and worldwide emergency. We still face an invisible virus," exclaimed Vázquez Garced, who was surrounded by agency heads.
The services of lawyers, as well as hardware stores, laundries, moving services, elevator inspection, transportation of air conditioners and vehicle inspection centers are some of those that will be able to open beginning on Monday, by appointment.
The time restriction from 5:00 am to 7:00 pm remains, but people will be able to do outdoor activities such as walking and jogging from 5:00 am to 3:00 pm.
The changes are effective on Monday, May 4, and are included in an Executive Order to be signed tomorrow, Friday.
they have coronavirus?
they have an economy?
WE do!
Which one?
My last neighbor in FL was from PR and a cool guy, aside from the instinct to do whatever you have to do get by. I fully trusted him but he was fine with “screwing the man” so to speak. I have no idea what PR’s income comes from.
All I know is that PR is pretty much like many blue states here.
Economy. In no particular order: manufacturing - particularly pharma and medical devices, aerospace, tourism, financial services, transportation, cargo and logistics, healthy retail, health for locals and neighboring islands, export services, information technology, niche agricuture like coffee...I could go on.
Well Ya’ll are welcome then.
PR had 6 new deaths today for a total of 92 in all. And the death rate is 27 per million, on a par with North Dakota and Oregon.
