Since the return of Easter, eleven Puerto Rican Senate employees have tested positive for COVID-19 coronavirus.
The information was confirmed by Metro Puerto Rico by the press office of the upper house, which indicated that all employees will be tested tomorrow.
These cases come after the four reported last week became known, which includes Senator Rosamar Trujillo, two employees of the weapons sergeant and one of the Energy Commission chaired by Senator Javier Aponte Dalmau.

As indicated, the additional cases were positive after the end of the holidays for the longest known week, a week and a half ago.
Tomorrow, in the Luis A. Ferrer parking lot, all Senate employees will be tested in this situation.
Due to the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, the Government of Puerto Rico amended the Executive Order to establish a coverage time at 10 pm and the closure of businesses and units at 9 pm, although it did not limit the percentage of people’s capacity. In addition, the schools were ordered to close and return to the education system, a decision criticized by a group of mothers and fathers who demonstrated last Saturday in front of La Fortaleza.
Currently, there are 103,957 confirmed cases of accumulated virus in Puerto Rico, 2,162 deaths and 406 hospitalizations out of the 21 are minors and 385 are adults.
