San Juan, March 25 (RHC)-- Puerto Rico passed a record $787 million financial package to fight the economic hit caused by the pandemic.  Measures include a three-month moratorium on mortgage payments, as well as other loans; bonuses for essential services providers such as medical staff and police; and improving remote education by buying tablets and educational tools. 

Governor Wanda Vázquez also said Puerto Rico’s public sector employees will keep getting paid, and small businesses and self-employed workers will receive cash to cope with the crisis.
