                    In addition to the curfew, the Government has ordered the closure of non-essential stores and some companies that could not organize teleworking and also, at Easter, prohibited inter-city travel.

                    THE ELECTIONS, POSTPONED

                    The health situation coincides with an electoral year for the Dominican Republic, which although it held the municipal elections last March 15, has been forced to postpone the presidential and legislative elections scheduled for May 17 to July 5.

                    In the event that it is necessary to hold a second round in the presidential elections, in which Medina's successor will be elected, this would be held on July 26.

                    Congress approved the state of emergency on March 19 and it has been extended twice, the last one until April 30, the same day that the curfew was extended.

                                S?nchez C?rdenas admitted that due to the combat of the pandemic, there may have been "distraction" by health personnel in relation to attention to dengue and malaria, diseases that experienced a "peak" in the last bulletin.
