Task Force to limit beach festivities during Holy Week for safety

Santo Domingo.- The Joint Task Force has announced the prohibition of mass parties in beach and resort areas during Holy Week to enhance security, ensure family-friendly environments, and prevent disruptions for citizens. This decision aims to protect the well-being of local communities and safeguard the safety of both local and foreign visitors enjoying the holiday season at popular tourist spots.

Authorities stressed the importance of maintaining restraint during this religious period, which holds deep significance for many Dominicans. They also confirmed that as part of the special Easter operation, there will be increased patrols, intelligence efforts, and preventive measures, particularly in beaches, rivers, resorts, and residential and commercial areas.

In collaboration with the Emergency Operations Center (COE), security and relief agencies will implement a comprehensive protection system to ensure safe travel across the country throughout the holiday period.
