Can someone please share a link with information on ferry flights to Santo Domingo DR from USA? Any government site with date and flight info, if available, would be very appropriate. TIA
This is day 10 since phase 1 of the reopening began. It should come as no surprise that the total number of new infections is slowly rising day over day. The rate should continue to increase and quicken as time goes on. How high and how fast remains to be seen. Still lots of masks being worn so that should help a little bit. If phase 2 proceeds on schedule the increase in infection numbers should be noticeable to everyone - assuming CV19 testing remains consistent.
Has the hospitalization rate increased? If so by how much? At what % capacity are the worst hit hospitals?
I have not seen such information published on any site, for any country.
Contact your nearest Dominican Embassy, email is probably your best first attempt at getting in touch
Those folks run the show
I think JetBlue is the most frequent .... United had a couple too.
Citizens only they say
You'll see the JetBlue flights out of SDQ and STI on Google Flights. I took one two weeks ago. Kind of crazy because both the Santo Domingo airport and JFK were eerily empty.
But he is going the other way. Need PCR test negative 48 hours in advance of the flight and permission from RD authorities to enter the flight, I believe
Or he might get a free hotel week or two
But sure, Google it or call the airlines is the answer to his question
In a conversation I am having with a lawyer who works in Santo Domingo I am finding that the enforcement of the multi-step reopening plan requires a State of Emergency. If the SOE is no longer approved by the DR Senate and Deputies, that plan goes away and everything can open the day of the expiration of the SOE . Here is what she just told me:
"with all due respect this (the 4 step plan being valid) is not true. I am a Dominican lawyer and work for the government trust me when I tell you he cannot continue the phases or curfew hours by decree. That's called a dictatorship.
Please read Law 42-01 articles 69, 149, 153. The President cannot maintain shops closed, limit in capacity, apply social distancing measures, and maintain airports closed through decree. Through a decree fundamental rights cannot be limited, but he can during a State of Emergency. In this nation a President cannot rule by Decree it is unconstitutional.
I am saying, its what our law states. By the 12th of of June if the State of Emergecy is not renewed then yes, everything is open. People were fast to jump on the wagon of "NO MORE SOE" without even reading out laws and Constitution and what that meant. You can disagree with it if you want, but what you are implying does not fit into our rule of law. We are not Venezuela to be ruling by Decree. People have lost their minds. You cannot EVER rule by Decree, especially when you limit fundamental rights. Don't forget the first lines of our Contitution "La Republica Dominicana es un Estado Social y Democratico de Derecho"."

All the phases could be over very soon, as in about June 12, if the lawyer I just received information from is correct.
Perhaps DR1's own layer can respond if the SOE is required to keep the multiphase reopening in effect?
that's how he gets June 12..... the 12 day extension.... might be June13.....
I've mentioned in several of my posts that the S.O.E is the means by which the govt is imposing physical distancing, regulating gatherings of people, stay home, "don't go out unless necessary" rules, the nightly curfew and the shuttering of businesses.
No more S.O.E and all those restrictions go away immediately rather than in an managed and staged process.

Sorry, it must have gotten lost in all the extra words. This post of yours was clear and concise.
