To help limit the spread of COVID-19, governments have implemented strict and serious measures on social distancing, population curfews and even total lockdowns. In Puerto Rico, Governor Hon. Wanda Vázquez-Garced issued a state of emergency followed by Executive Order 2020-023 (EO 2020-023), which instituted an island-wide lockdown and closure of all private and public entities to combat the spread of the virus, with limited exceptions. Due to the lockdown and closure of commercial businesses, many employers are implementing teleworking policies in order to keep their businesses running.
