Giovanni Roberto has been leading calls for the government to help needy people during the coronavirus pandemic.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance giving the mayor 12 days to secure thousands of rooms to house and protect the city's homeless population during the COVID-19 crisis.

Some of the strictest measures to contain COVID-19 are in Puerto Rico, where the governor has effectively shut the island down amid fears its health system is too weak after Hurricane Maria.

Fed up with what they say is rampant corruption, protesters are demanding the resignation of Gov. Wanda Vázquez, who just months ago served as the island's Justice Secretary.

People across the island are collecting donations for those displaced by earthquakes. Rather than give them to the government, they're delivering the goods to the affected region themselves.

Puerto Rico's recovery following the devastating Hurricane Maria was slow and uneven. And then last week, the largest earthquake to hit the island in a century made things worse.

It's an anxious time for people in Puerto Rico. Saturday's 5.9 magnitude earthquake was the latest of both large and small tremors that have rattled the island for more than two weeks.

Tens of thousands of people in Puerto Rico are still without power, days after a large earthquake rolled across the island. Buildings collapsed and some roads remain closed.

The biggest earthquake to hit Puerto Rico in a century has hobbled the island. Power remains out in many areas and people are afraid to stay indoors because of structural concerns.

"En Mi Viejo San Juan" is an unofficial anthem of Puerto Rico and the official anthem of San Juan. It evokes memories of the island for those who have left and a yearning on the island for those who are gone.
