New deadlines established by the Puerto Rico Treasury Department pursuant to AD 20-09

On March 12, 2020, the Governor of Puerto Rico issued the Executive Order No. OE-2020-020, in which Puerto Rico was declared in a state of emergency given the imminent impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) in our Island.

In addition, on March 15, 2020, the governor issued Executive Order No. OE- 2020-023 establishing a 14 days curfew for the citizens, a closure of government operations, and the closure of all businesses in Puerto Rico from 6:00 p.m. from March 15, 2020 to March 30, 2020. All these measures were implemented, to prevent and control the spread of this virus with the promptness and efficiency it deserves.
