Balancing the recommendations of the Medical and Economic Task Forces convened to address the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor of Puerto Rico Hon. Wanda Vazquez-Garced on April 12, 2020 issued Executive Order 2020-033 (“EO” or the “Order”). While the priority continues to be curbing the spread of COVID-19, this Order attempts to slowly restart the economic sector. Generally, the Order extends the lockdown and curfew measures, but also adds exceptions to the application of the Order and expands certain business hours of operation, thus allowing certain services and industries to operate. Failure to comply with the EO may result in penalties.
