Amid rumours that Wanda Vázquez would transfer control of the Juan A. Rivero Zoo from the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources to the Municipality of Mayagüez, under José Guillermo Rodríguez, Vázquez Nieves clarified that there was a commitment that by the end of March 2020 the governor would visit the zoo. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Puerto Rico, the meeting was postponed and held on 11 July 2020, where she did not maintain social distance.
