Santo Domingo.- The intervention plan that the health authorities will carry out in various provinces of the Dominican Republic next Thursday does not include the limitation of entrances and exits in the demarcations as has been done in other areas to deal with COVID-19.

In addition to the National District, the provinces of Santo Domingo, San Cristóbal, Monte Plata and La Romana will be intervened.
