3. Those with symptoms or those who tested positive will be isolated for the required quarantine time.  
4. Additionally, there is no vaccination requirement or quarantine mandate. 
5. Hotels will offer viral antigen testing to international visitors. 
6. Arrivals must have a complete electronic entry and exit report (E-ticket) generating a QR code for customs. 
7. Free temporary health plans will be given to all international visitors on commercial flights and staying in a hotel. 

Dominican Republic Safety Precautions 

Of course, the Dominicans would still like to kindly ask all tourists to maintain the usual protocol for social distancing, hand washing, masks, and the like.  

Again, the good news is the DR is open for travel, and folks can feel safe coming to our part of the Caribbean once more.
