The crowded New Year’s Eve party held last night in a hotel in Punta Cana has generated criticism from those who understand that the coronavirus will not be able to control itself with the disobedience of many citizens who do not comply with the authorities’ orders to stop the spread of viruses.
In a video, which has become a trend on social media, hundreds of people are seen loudly celebrating the arrival of 2021, without any physical distancing and many of them without masks.
Authorities ordered that the curfew last night take effect at 7:00 p.m., and removed the two-hour grace for free traffic, which was heeded by many who waited for the new year without taking into account the restrictions and apart from those who are living the country with the pandemic.
According to information offered to Listín Diari, the event was held in a complex that reopened its doors recently and wanted to please its guests with a farewell party of the year.
In order to gain access to the area, attendees had to pay just over $ 100, it was reported.
“We weren’t near here, we sat away from there, that was for a small group,” a person who was staying at the place told Listín Diari.
