As Puerto Rico starts to reopen, the government is placing much of the burden to stop the spread of COVID-19 on employers. On May 1, 2020, Puerto Rico Secretary of Labor Hon. Briseida Torres Reyes issued Opinion Letter 2020-03 (OL 2020-03) to implement Executive Order 2020-38 (EO 2020-38), which eases some of the current business closure measures. Among other things, EO 2020-38 requires employers now permitted to operate to submit a self-certification to the Puerto Rico Department of Labor and Human Resources (PRDOL).
