Puerto Rico to lift face mask requisite for those vaccinated

Puerto Rico Gov. Pedro Pierluisi says fully vaccinated people will no longer be required to wear face masks starting next week with few exceptions

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Fully vaccinated people in Puerto Rico will no longer be required to wear face masks starting next week with few exceptions, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi announced on Thursday. He also said that capacity restrictions at all businesses will be lifted as the number of COVID-19 cases, deaths and hospitalizations across the U.S. territory keeps dropping. Both measures go into effect July 5. “Each day we get closer to normal,” Pierluisi said, acknowledging that it will be difficult to determine who has been vaccinated.
