One more encouraging sign about the pandemic for Americans: Puerto Rico, a popular travel destination that was the first U.S. state or territory to go into lockdown, has lifted its nightly curfew.
The island has seen a 58% decline in new infections over the last two weeks after enduring a dramatic spike in April.
