The Dominican Republic has disposed of the requirement of a negative COVID-19 check for tourists arriving in the country and grants them flexible health insurance coverage.
The country may not even perform massive control at the airport, but terminal officials can perform random temperature checks, according to the country’s Ministry of Tourism.
The flexible insurance plan covers the COVID-19 check and provides money to tourists if they have health problems or want to be quarantined.
This resolution only minimizes the effects of the pandemic, but also boosts the country’s economy, which relies heavily on income from tourism.
The government also sealed agreements with airlines and set aside more than $35 million to help the pandemic industry.
