The next phase is scheduled for 17 June and would allow 100% of employees to return to large business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He recommends continuing with the plan after analyzing the impact of the first two phases of the easing of restrictions.

Similarly, small and micro enterprises will be able to work with 100% of their staff and companies with more than 75 workers will be able to use 75% of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a press conference, the president of the CMD suggested that the Dominican government sign an agreement to ensure the country is among the first to receive the eagerly awaited virus vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Waldo Ariel Suerto spoke during a press conference when the CMD complained that the government authorities, headed by the Minister of the Presidency Gustavo Montalvo, are opposed to the return of the residents and specialists to their respective posts when the Luis Eduardo Aybar hospital city is inaugurated.
