I was told this was going to happen about a week and a half ago. Posted the information in another thread recently tho I had no idea they would do it so soon nor did I know about the 12pm on weekends.
One step forward, two steps backwards.

Like any company, they're in business to make money. All the money they pay to the employees, suppliers, and tour operators all goes back into the local economy.
Then I wonder why a poster above said their pharmacy won't let them enter from January 1 to January 10?
And why are other people "getting it wrong" in the DR news and on line posts with official looking and clearly stated points about the decree?
Picking up some take out from a restaurant or colmado does seem to be allowed during non curfew hours, but once again you are not supposed to go inside.
There is also a little exception in the decree for people that want to go to a pharmacy for an emergency, but I am guessing you may not be allowed inside.

So I am going with the Cerrados Al Publico for Restaurantes, Bares y Colmadones as I said from the beginning:
Thankfully my renter is the manager of a local Pharmacy and she has no problem bring home whatever medicines we require.
I can't explain what other people think or say. There is no restriction on farmacias mentioned in Abinader's decree. Here is another official post from the office of the President. WW posted this earlier. It says again what was in the decree. I'll go with what the official decree says:Then I wonder why a poster above said their pharmacy won't let them enter from January 1 to January 10?

Gobierno dispone nuevas medidas para frenar el COVID-19
SANTO DOMINGO. - El Gobierno dispuso este miércoles nuevas medidas tendentes a contener la propagación del COVID-19, que incluyen inicio de toque de queda a las 7:00 de noche el 31 de diciembre, eliminando la gracia de libre tránsito hasta la 1:00 de la madrugada del 1 de enero.
P.S. It makes no sense to punish farmacias and close them to the public except for delivery. Any farmacia that I've been to only allows a maximum of 2 people inside. They are not the problem!
Please. The natives aren't stupid enough to put others at risk for a damn drink, and because they think they have some sort of magical understanding of how viruses are transmitted.
DR is going into shutdown mode, largely because of bad choices like the ones you enjoy promoting. Hopefully, between that and the Oxford vaccines, they'll be able to protect themselves from stupid, self-indulgent choices made by North Americans desperate to travel.
Where does it say that pharmacies have to close and be delivery only? Read it carefully. It says bars colmados and restaurants are delivery only. And it says delivery drivers from these and from pharmacies can work until 11pm. Nothing about pharmacies having to close.
Try running a Dominican company and you will see how much tax you have to pay. A huge amount of the money generated in Bávaro stays in the country.
Yes but it's better to use a taxi that has permission. Travel to and from airports is allowed but the person picking you up should have your flight details etc if they don't have permission to drive during the curfew.
Welcome to the great reset. As I told my wife 10 months ago, this will never end. At least life will never be the same again.
I thought coming to the DR would get us away from the crazy Canadian hysteria. Looks like I was wrong.
This curfew is draconian,kinda curtails outside activities or a friendly get together.
CristoRey may have to wait for his beer buy until April 2024. If there are any business's left standing.
Maybe not, but that will be unfortunate and difficult to explain considering all the benefits and enticements tourists are getting including being able to travel to and from airports at whatever hour and Dominicans will not be given the same consideration(?).
I asked at Playero yesterday. Their hours of operation in Sosua under the new curfew hours will be M-F 7:00 am - 17:00. Sat & Sun 06:00 - 11:00. I asked Wed afternoon just a few hours after the changes were announced . So it is possible the above info can change.
Yes it has gotten attention in past demonstrations. Maybe burning them at airport entrances would be most effective? Could you only imagine demonstrations shutting down PUJ or SDQ? The press coverage would be worldwide.
Even a taxi blockade - it doesn't need to be burning tires
Which pharmacy? I would like to investigate that.
Was he a taxi driver - did the pharmacy owner test positive?
Sounds like more info is needed.
I would like to follow up if you provide the pharmacy name
