As of January 26th 2021, the Dominican Republic will begin offering free COVID-19 antigen testing for all international visitors staying at most hotels, so that travelers can comply with the new CDC requirement to be tested within 72 hours of their return to the U.S. The rapid tests will be administered by health personnel at each hotel. The results will be certified by the Ministry of Health.
For those that have booked Dominican Republic vacation packages, they include free health care coverage to travelers through the end of March 2021. The plan covers any medical costs related to COVID-19 while in the Dominican Republic.
Currently, travelers currently do not need a negative COVID-19 test result to enter the Dominican Republic. They do run random tests at the airport for a small percentage of people, or to those that have any symptoms.
