No curfew but with a vaccination card or PCR test to enter establishments

That would be similar to me. I want to do the two Pfizer for travel and for when I travel to visit my mother in Europe who is 86.
I don't know maybe its just me but I do not like to be coerce by anybody specially the government...for those unvaccinated you can do your food shopping on line...I live in Santiago and shop in the supermarkets Plaza Lama, La Sirena, La Nacional etc...for banking you can use the drive thru window...time to go around the idiot politicos...
"Get back to normal". Just what does that mean in a pandemic? Especially in a country that depends on tourists who come from countries that don't mind preventing their citizens from coming here if they their returning citizens put people at home at risk
Generally I think your posts show clear thinking, but not in this case
If tourism in danger,things will be tougher, not forgotten for Christmas
Fake cards will abound because can you imagine how hard it will be to check every hundred people entering Blue Mall or Jumbo every 5 minutes?
Many people fear the shots. And if boosters become mandated too then the excrement hits the abanico because most thinking is "I did my two, now I'm done" their policy.
Imagine a ferretería with a dirty & tired plumber rushing back for more fittings - you think he will have time to look for a vax card?
A greasy car mechanic won't have it entering the parts stores.
It likely will be enforced half-heartily at supermarkets for a few months but then it fades away as every cumbersome rule does.
Ever notice the bored guy checking your temperature entering the supermarket? He never even looks at the reading, and I've never seen anyone stopped either. Even saw him check an elderly man's arm with a jacket on, and not asking to roll it up - that's how this will be treated too.

did you ever notice how almost everyone has cell phone in Dominican..QR code instant check almost impossible fake
requires verification just like pcr testing one they give verification on a click by website..QR code spreading around world going that way it seems .. will it work here who know things are changing rapidly..

Dominicans are embracing technology police take a picture of your license plate up pops owners picture and info getting harder and harder to fake shit..same thing was said about COVID test just buy off Juan on beach that didn’t work out well either..who knows we will see soon enough..
Yep. Ever noticed how "paper immigration forms will never go away". Yeah right. Less than a year ago. Now it's necessary to explain to first timers to the DR "we used to have these little pieces of paper, they fluttered all over the place...one was blue...one was white...the print on them was so small that......LOL.
This thread reminds me of the frenzy that AMET caused 5 years ago saying that all vehicles needed to be equipped with that special emergency kit. People were all worried and spent 2500 pesos on a triangle and a fire extinguisher. Where did that all go? Same place this is new requirement will be going.
Going? I guarantee for a bare minimum you will NOT be going to any Government agency without the proper credentials. That is a sure thing. So if you happen to need a driver's license, passport, or Cedula good luck. And banks, large supermarkets, etc............................
All the ranting on DR1 means as much as the middle of a bagel...............
Of course the Government agencies will implement it and so will the banks...perhaps the bigger supermarkets. Restaurants, malls colmados, gyms and most others won't bother after 2 weeks. They have lost enough money in the past 2 years.
I doubt the banks will after a few weeks anyway. That guard and the door with a 40 year-old shotgun barely has the energy to ask you to remove your cap. At my bank he even wears his mask below his nose
I agree. The best they will be able to do is a random check from time to time.
From what I have seen lately, and Everbody knows this is a country of Fake things...I have seen fake vaccination cards bought for 500 pesos, they are the real card only you dont get the jab with them.........
There is good news for your niece. The Multiple Sclerosis Society highly recommends that people suffering with MS get the vaccine as they are at high risk of adverse reactions to the Covid19 virus.
ICYMI:
COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance for People Living with MS
People living with multiple sclerosis (MS) are seeking peace of mind on the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines. In response, the Society convened a group of expert researchers and medical professionals to review the available science and make fact-based recommendations.
She is more likely to have an adverse reaction to Covid19 than she is to the vaccine.
100% right..that’s why paper is on way out everywhere even here…how are immigrations hand written paper going going almost gone , times change..
I think that, in their rush to keep up with the Jones's (aka fully developed countries), the Dominican government might have gone a step too far.
For instance...
In most of the countries where vaccine "passports" have become the norm, certain essential services have been precluded from the requirement.
Grocery stores are an example.
While Masks and Social distancing are still required, vaccine passports are not.
Precisely because they are essential services and it would be considered far too heavy handed to stop people from buying food.
There is a better than even chance that, in the not too distant future, there will be an update to the ruling excluding essential services from the requirement
