A free translation of the decree is also attached. Authorities in the Dominican Republic have issued orders lengthening curfew hours in the National District, as well as in 24 of the nation's 31 provinces, June 2-9, due to elevated COVID-19 activity in the affected jurisdictions, such as the provinces of Santo Domingo, National District, La Romana, Barahona, Monte Cristi, Pedernales and Azua. New curfew hours will run 6:00 PM to 05:00 A.M. on Monday through Friday, and 3:00 PM to 05:00 AM on Saturdays and Sundays. Individuals needing to return to their accommodations or residences will be accorded a three-hour grace period in order to do so. Provinces not affected by the new curfew hours are Duarte, Espaillat, La Altagracia, La Vega, Samana, Santiago, and Puerto Plata. In these seven jurisdictions, the previously imposed curfew hours of 22:00-05:00 on weekdays and 21:00-05:00 on weekends will remain in effect, with the grace period for individuals to return to their residences extending until 00:01 nightly.

  • On Hispaniola
    106 NOVITATES CARIBAEA, 11: 106-114, 2017 NEW OBSERVATIONS OF TWO RARE RALLIDS (AVES: GRUIFORMES: RALLIDAE) ON HISPANIOLA Miguel A. Landestoy T. Escuela de Biología, Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo. República Dominicana. [email protected] ABSTRACT The Yellow-breasted Crake, Hapalocrex flaviventer (Boddaert, 1783), and the Spotted Rail, Pardirallus maculatus (Boddaert, 1783), are rarely reported and poorly known birds on Hispaniola. Of the first species there were no recent records, while for the second, the range of distribution is significantly expanded based on new observations, which are chronologically summarized in order to assess the possibility of breeding in the island. Some rarely reported aspects of the latter species’ behavior are commented. The habitat is generally characterized in at least one locality where both species are syntopic. Keywords: Hapalocrex flaviventer, Pardirallus maculatus, Rallidae, distribution, Malacophagy, Hispaniola. NUEVAS OBSERVACIONES DE DOS RÁLIDOS RAROS (AVES: GRUIFORMES: RALLIDAE) EN LA HISPANIOLA RESUMEN La Guineíta, Hapalocrex flaviventer (Boddaert, 1783), y el Gallito Manchado, Pardirallus maculatus (Boddaert, 1783), son aves rara vez reportadas y poco conocidas en la Hispaniola. De la primera especie no se tenían registros recientes, mientras que de la segunda se expande la distribución por medio a nuevas observaciones, las cuales son resumidas cronológicamente con el fin de evaluar la posibilidad de su reproducción en la isla. De la última especie se comenta sobre aspectos de comportamiento raramente reportados. Se caracteriza el hábitat de manera general en por lo menos una localidad donde ambas especies son sintópicas. Palabras clave: Hapalocrex flaviventer, Pardirallus maculatus, Rallidae, distribución, Malacofagia, Hispaniola.
