Puerto Rico Lifts Mask Mandates

 

Puerto Rico is ending the requirements for masks indoors as the number of cases and hospitalizations have gone down.   In addition, domestic travelers no longer have to present proof of vaccination or a negative coronavirus test or fill out the currently required form. 

Puerto Rico is also lifting all capacity restrictions at private and public businesses, and proof of vaccination to enter will no longer be required.  

However, masks are required at hospitals, medical offices, pharmacies, laboratories, and elderly care facilities.  Social distancing should still be practiced.
