February 22. 2022. Supreme Court of Puerto Rico The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico held that the restrictive measures adopted by the Government to combat the Covid-19 pandemic were constitutional.Claimants considered that the Government of Puerto Rico overstepped its constitutional margin of movement when it enacted far-reaching restrictions of fundamental rights during the public health emergency. The Court of Appeal upheld several prongs of the claim, however, the Government turned to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court overturned the judgment of the Court of Appeal and confirmed the constitutionality of public health restrictions implemented in Puerto Rico.   https://www.covid19litigation.org/news/2023/02/puerto-rico-supreme-court-holds-restrictive-measures-avert-spread-pandemic-were
