The Health Cabinet cleared Dominican businesses that can now stay open three more hours on Saturdays and Sundays. That is, from 5am to 6pm, the same as on weekdays. There is a three hour free transit period. That is, full curfew applies as of 9pm every day. This schedule is in place for the National District and 24 provinces where the Covid-19 positivity is over 15%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decree 378-21 issued by the Presidency on 15 June 2021 extends the measures ordered in Decree 349-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curfew is now Monday to Sunday from 6pm to 5am with the three-hour free circulation period continues. The government kept the dry law (ban on sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages) from 3pm to 5am but allows the sale of alcoholic beverages for takeout or delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measures are applicable in: the National District and the provinces of Santo Domingo (Greater Santo Domingo), Azua, Bahoruco, Barahona, Dajab\u00f3n, El\u00edas Pi\u00f1a, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Hermanas Mirabal, Independencia, La Romana, Mar\u00eda Trinidad S\u00e1nchez, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, Montecristi, Monte Plata, Pedernales, Peravia, San Crist\u00f3bal, San Jos\u00e9 de Ocoa, San Juan de la Maguana, San Pedro de Macor\u00eds, S\u00e1nchez Ram\u00edrez, Santiago Rodr\u00edguez and Valverde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the country\u2019s major tourism destinations (Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, La Vega and Saman\u00e1) have been exempt from the new restrictions in Decree 378-21 and 349-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exceptions to the extended curfew are the provinces of Duarte, Espaillat, La Altagracia (Punta Cana), La Vega (Jarabacoa and Constanza), Puerto Plata, Saman\u00e1 and Santiago, where the curfew is from 10pm to 5am from Monday to Friday and from 9pm to 5am on Saturdays and Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intention is to reduce mobility and people mixing when new highly transmissible variants of the virus are in circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Santo Domingo Metro and Cable Car office was prompt to announce new weekend schedules. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metro:
Monday to Sunday 6am to 8pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santo Domingo Cable Car:
Monday to Saturday 6am to 8pm
Sundays from 8am to 8pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
