A report in El Nuevo Diario tells where to apply for a permit to organize gatherings now that curfew has been revoked in the National District (Santo Domingo) and La Altagracia (Punta) Cana) province.
The Presidency of the Republic or the ministries of Interior & Police and Tourism are the government departments in charge of granting the authorizations. The beneficiaries of permits need to comply with a protocol drafted by the Risk and Disaster Agency (Dirección de Gestión de Riesgos y Atención a Desastres) of the Ministry of Public Health.

The Ministry of Tourism will issue the permit if the activity is related to the tourism industry.
