Public Health Minister Plutarco Arias has proposed declaring Christmas Eve a holiday so that Dominicans can gather for a Christmas lunch instead of the traditional evening dinner. While Christmas Day already is a holiday, Christmas Eve has always been a working day. This 2020, Christmas Eve falls on a Thursday (with a curfew at 9pm), and Christmas Day on a Friday, making for a long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Luis Abinader has announced his agreement to the minister&#8217;s Christmas Eve proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Covid-19 curfew restricts Dominicans from gathering on holidays after 7pm. Many people are advocating a relaxing of the curfew over the holidays. Others say that this will only lead to a spike in cases. Authorities have said they are not game to relaxing the restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/n.com.do\/2020\/11\/13\/ministro-de-salud-sugiere-hacer-almuerzo-y-no-cena-el-proximo-24-de-diciembre\/\">N Digital <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/eldia.com.do\/gobierno-estudia-declarar-no-laborables-24-y-31-diciembre-por-coronavirus\/\">El Dia <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/elnuevodiario.com.do\/plutarco-arias-gobierno-estudia-declarar-no-laborables-24-y-31-diciembre-sugiere-almuerzo-y-no-cena-en-nochebuena\/\">El Nuevo Diario <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15 November 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of Public Health suggests Christmas Eve lunch rather than dinner.
