TSA rejects appeal against resolution requiring presentation of vaccination card in public plac

[SKY]

Santo Domingo, DR
The Presidency of the Superior Administrative Court (TSA) rejected the request for a precautionary measure seeking the provisional suspension of Public Health resolution number 000048, which requires the presentation of a vaccination card against covid-19 to enter closed public and private places since October 18.
The president of the TSA, Diomede Villalona, considered that the request to adopt the precautionary measure does not meet any of the requirements demanded by law 13-07, which creates the Contentious Tax and Administrative Court.
The lawsuit in referral, which was in a state of ruling since last Tuesday, was filed by the pastor and political leader Carlos Peña, in his capacity and the representation of the Servant Generation party.
Ramón Mola Manzuela, Felicita Gil Paulino, Demetrio Francisco de los Santos, Miguel Antonio Merán Valdez, Freddi Antonio Jaquez Graciano and others joined as voluntary interveners.
The request was rejected by judgment number 0030-01-2021-SSMc-00169, dated October 28. Accordingly, it was notified to the parties involved in the conflict.
The contentious administrative appeal is pending, which is to be decided by a chamber of the TSA.

What is this ? Are there two appeals?

This one is rejected and another is pending (last sentence)
but the sentence above says one was rejected

From the sounds of it, a temporary injunction preventing it going into force was rejected, but the main case on the merits of its constitutionality is still pending.

Or there is no appeal and the current mandate stands as is. Here is another story on this topic where it says the mandate continues:

Vaccine card requirement will continue - is the title

Exigencia tarjeta de vacuna continuará

I suspect a final decision has been made. I admit, the wording is poor, but I see it as the mandate stands as it is to show vaccine cards to enter public spaces and a final decision has been made.

Makes no difference here in Sosua or Cabarete. Merchants are no longer asking for it. It lasted 1 day. Masks are not even required in most establishments.

The story as written confuses the issue by stating at the bottom of the article why the original appeal was filed instead putting that at the top. That gives the impression that there is another appeal pending. The title of the article states clearly the request to stop the vaccine card mandate was rejected. Please correct me if I misunderstood it.

That was to be expected in most places.

The most cases are in Greater Santo Domingo (the National District and Santo Domingo province) followed by Santiago, the country’s second largest city.

The national 4-week positivity rate for the 30 October 2021 Epidemiological Bulletin #591 is at 11.89%, down from the previous day. The 24-hour positivity for the day is 11.52%, also down.

Twenty provinces and the National District present a positivity rate over 10%, reflecting the new transmission that reaches two-thirds of the country’s provinces.

I just looked at Canada and the US and they're positivity rates were 2.8% for Canada and 4.9% for the US over the last 7 days. Contrast that with the quoted numbers from 10.7 to 31.42 for the provinces and it makes mw wonder why so many here think that the DR is doing so much better with covid???

It all has to do with the average number of tests being performed. More testing in the DR would result in more representative infection numbers. In the news I'm seeing from home, the province of Ontario routinely performs ~31,000 PCR tests per day. It takes the DR much longer to do that number of tests. It stands when the infection numbers are divided by a lower number of daily tests the result is a higher infection percentage. The accuracy and reliability of the numbers published by the Govt. based on limited testing have been suspect from the beginning. Thus any conclusions drawn from those published numbers should also be less accurate.

 

[OldSkool]

My thinking was that if these are the best numbers that the DR is content to post, and I suspect that only the best numbers will get published, then they are failing miserably by the main indicators that NA are using. It's not like they would purposely make themselves look bad. Time will tell and I'm hoping for the best for the DR but things took a turn for the worst in September and i still trending that way.

Long live the vaccinated!!!!

On this point I could not agree more.........

.

Dominican Health Minister Daniel Rivera has described the virus' resurgence as a crisis of the unvaccinated, who are taxing health resources and occupying ICU beds.

"Out of the last 31 people who died, 29 of them were not vaccinated at all. And the only person who was vaccinated and died was a 68-year-old patient," Rivera said during a press conference last week.



Dr. Indira Jiménez, who's in charge of the Covid-19 unit at Francisco Moscoso Cuello Hospital, told CNN that 90% of the infected patients arriving at her hospital were unvaccinated or had only received one shot.

That sucks.

Went to Santo Traficjam on Sunday. Our nephew drove after spending some time with us in Cabarete. Took about 3 hours from Cabarete.

A vaccination card was definitely required to enter the Passport Office on the Malecon where I picked up my first Dominican passport.

Caribe Tours did not ask anyone for a vaccination card to board the bus.
