Less than 36 hours after Puerto Rico governor Wanda Vázquez announced that the U.S. territory would gradually reopen in the middle of a global coronavirus pandemic, another earthquake struck the island’s southern region.

Crisis response in Puerto Rico continues to be a challenge, and questions still remain if the Vázquez administration is even following the advice of scientists and public health officials. For this episode of Latino Rebels Radio, host Julio Ricardo Varela welcomes Mónica Feliú-Mójer of CienciaPR to discuss.
