Curfew soon to go

President Leonel Fernández reduced to eight hours the curfew on Friday and eliminated the curfew in Puerto Plata and Santiago yesterday. The curfew in Santo Domingo was upped to 10 pm yesterday and it could be eliminated tonight. While power in most sectors has not been restored after three days of staying at home, the populace is ready to get out. Most bars and restaurants have back up power plants so the lack of public electricity is not a major problem.
