The Government has no plans to eliminate curfew on Christmas and New Years
The Government is not contemplating eliminating the curfew and other restriction measures currently in place to control the coronavirus for Black Friday and the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The President of the Republic said that good measures have been taken to control the spread of COVID-19 in the country, and also pointed out that the countries where there was a total opening of the economy and activities, there was a resurgence of infections.
Although he stressed that the final decision will be made by the technicians and the health cabinet led by Vice President Raquel Peña, he said that the gradualness with which the measures in the state of emergency have been made more flexible have allowed COVID-19 to be controlled.
“So far this gradualness has paid off for the country. If you observe other countries that have fully opened, there has been a reappearance that we do not want in the Dominican Republic ”, he said at the conclusion of the session of the Council of Ministers in San Cristóbal where he announced an investment of more than 2,000 million pesos in infrastructure works , schools, hospitals and museum

I think this is a good idea.
If RD is known - or seen - to be having an outbreak - an out of control increase in cases,
it can only be bad for tourism...... and the population
Personally, I am more comfortable, feel safer , here than I would in many places.
My UK daughter has retreated to friends in the country - lockdown
I was in SD this week-
Masks being well used but the social distancing is hard - nigh impossible - to achieve
The number of people, the street configurations don't encourage it.
Add to that the culture and the years of habit......
But they're trying.... I was in the Gazcue
