I will not name the pharmacy. He was not a taxi driver. He was an ex-pat. I don't believe he worked. His wife did not test positive but she is quarantining during this difficult time. She is a lovely lady and I do not want to cause her any more grief than what she is already going through.

Wouldn't that be special? How many Dominicans do you think would be encouraged to burn the house down at the airports? None. Civil unrest in the streets to include the burning of tires and unlawful demonstrations at the airports over not drinking beer at your favorite pub is not going to happen. Unions, burnning tires in the streets is a whole different matter.
She must clearly have a special contact or mysterious partnership with you..
I am going with farmacias won't be letting people inside starting tomorrow until at least January 10. Delivery to your home for sure and perhaps "curbside" pickup is allowed, you are just no going inside. That is my final answer.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:
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.presidencia.gob.do
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!
Looks like Public Beaches will be open:

5. It is established that from January 1, 2021, bars, restaurants and grocery stores will not be able to receive customers who consume at their facilities until January 10.
Does this answer the grocery store question !!??

God forbid you go out on the street on weekends after noon, however, private parties at the pool of your AirBnB condo is just fine, right?
Is there any risk or chatter about airlines cancelling flights because who would want to fly in under the curfew
Farmacias OPEN. Just left one that is not only open for customers but open 24/7 for customers. Located in Bavaro next to Plaza Lama in the gas station. And for supermarkets, they are also open. You just cannot eat there in the dining section if they have one.
DR1 is great for information, but there is a lot of "Fake News" here also...........................
I miss read Post #43.
Delivery only?
I don't own a phone and I live in the campo. SMH.... i wouldn't be surprised to see PN harassing them for being open.
Do you honestly think that the only negative effect for the people by these draconian mesures is that they can's drink beer at their favorite pubs? Do you not realize how devastating this will be and if I were to bet, I'd be betting on extensions to these new curfews. I think not being able to work and put food on the table just might be a bit more important to everyone.
Agreed, and my response was to a poster was regarding "civil unrest likey to start Weds." I have heard of no such things from Dominicans. Only here on DR1 from ex pats. Have you heard differently?
I am sorry to say that I have not. Sorry for the misunderstanding. You know, I think I have posted here before that EVERY day I ask between 2-4 Dominicans "how many people do you know personally that have died of Covid", so far just 2 have said they knew of someone personally. Odds are that we will all get the virus at one time or another. I very rarely get gripe even when those around me have it so maybe I will or maybe I won't but I prefer to live like a free man than stay locked down like an animal, but I fear life will never return to what it once was. - Happy New Year
Yea, no drinking at the grocery stores, no eating or drinking at bars and restaurants. That is what the above sentence says.
I don't think he's that stupid. At least I want to believe that.
Upon checking in for my flight to POP, the air transat app is telling me i will have to submit my travel plans and contact tracing details before boarding.
What the hell!?
Is this pandemic being used to create a surveillance state? Looks like it.
Understand that whatever you write as a fairy tale is not checked. 😃. Play the game it's stress free.
