SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico’s governor on Thursday announced major rollbacks including the closure of bars, gyms, marinas, theaters and casinos and restricted the use of beaches as the U.S. territory is hit by a spike in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

Gov. Wanda Vázquez said the changes and an ongoing curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. will remain in place until July 31.

“We’ve reached a level where we need to take more restrictive measures,” she said.

Other changes include the prohibition of alcohol sales after 7 p.m., limiting the capacity of restaurants to 50%, and barring travel to the popular nearby islands of Vieques and Culebra to everyone except residents. Only those who are exercising will be allowed on beaches, including joggers, swimmers and surfers.

And by "total and complete", I mean "near draconian". Because anything else is just empty promises. We won't beat this thing unless some absolutely drastic measures are taken.
