Following the state of emergency declared in Haiti https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-33800-haiti-covid-19-the-mayor-of-santiago-asks-to-close-the-borders.html due to the confirmation of the presence of Brazilian and English variants in Haitian territory, traders and public health authorities in Dajabón have doubled their health protocol on the border market to avoid the propagation in Dominican territory of these highly contagious variants.

Despite this alarming information provided by the Haitian authorities, the border market between Haitians and Dominicans which takes place every Monday and Friday and where more than 10,000 merchants from both countries come to exercise their commercial activities continues to function "normally".
