Puerto Rico governor maintains restrictions in new pandemic EO
Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia on Thursday signed an executive order extending until Feb. 2 the current restrictions related to the dry law and the operations of businesses to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The restrictions call for the closing of businesses from midnight to 5 a.m. as well as limiting to 50 percent capacity the number of patrons in indoor restaurants and to 75 percent capacity for outdoor restaurants.
Starting Monday, the new order would limit to 75 percent capacity all places that serve the public and are indoors, such as shopping malls, supermarkets and pharmacies. The same occupancy capacity will also apply to government facilities that serve the public.
Pierluisi said that only those who present a booster dose against COVID-19 or a negative test carried out within 48 hours prior can attend events in which the number of participants is 250 or fewer.
