During the first session of a series of conversations on the reopening of the economy in Puerto Rico and COVID-19 pandemic, Ana Lopez, VP of Development & Communications, talks with Jon Borschow, about\u00a0Foundation for Puerto Rico\u2019s proposal of a biological border<\/a>\u00a0that would allow to avoid the arrival of additional cases of the virus.\u00a0<\/p>

As an island, Puerto Rico is in a privileged position, since its only point of entry is through the Luis Mu\u00f1oz Mar\u00edn International Airport. Given the cooperation of Puerto Ricans and the government’s measures to control the spread of the virus, the island is in the lead in reviving the economy and, consequently, tourism. \u201cIf we organize ourselves with all the requirements including this biological border, many visitors can come and our economy can have a resurgence,\u201d Borschow said.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Currently, the international airport has a first base for a biological barrier: immunological tests and a small interview with passengers are done at random. However, the proposal suggests molecular testing of all passengers, a quarantine protocol for positive cases, and contact tracing.\u00a0<\/p>

To continue reopening the economy and reactivating tourism in a safe manner, the biological border is essential, says Borschow. \u201cPuerto Rico cannot afford, from both an economic and a public health standpoint, [\u2026] to go back into quarantine.\u201d The proposal calls for collaborative implementation between the government, the airport,\u00a0the island\u2019s\u00a0future points of entry\u00a0and the private sector.\u00a0<\/p>

With the mission of transforming Puerto Rico into a destination for the world, Foundation for Puerto Rico is confident that the border will serve as a catalyst for an increase in travel, in which visitors feel confident and safe.\u00a0<\/p>

Next Thursday,\u00a0the\u00a0Puerto Rico Science, Technology & Research Trust\u00a0will elaborate\u00a0on\u00a0contact tracing, an essential component in the biological frontier model proposed by Foundation for Puerto Rico. Tune in to our Facebook Live!\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
