The island experienced lower infection rates per person than all American states
In fact Puerto Rico, an American territory of 3.3m people about 1,000 miles south-east of Florida, has fared much better than most of America. . Of course, low case rates could be the result of infrequent testing. The positivity rate is used as an indicator of how widespread infection is and whether enough testing is being done. As of November 15th, Puerto Rico’s positivity rate was 5-7.
Why has Puerto Rico done so well? Unlike much of America, the island enacted strict rules early. The government brought in a lockdown in March 2020, two days after its first confirmed covid case. Non-essential businesses were ordered to close, and a curfew was enforced from 9pm until 5am. Anyone who broke it faced a $5,000 fine or a six-month jail term.
