Random rapid tests have been used at PUJ for more than a year. FInger prick. So, in that respect you might be chosen for a test I guess at SDQ also. They started this at PUJ after they realized a negative covid test for arrival was too complicated or something (negative test was required for...

Yes, Referencia is well known and recommended by many.

I know specific places in Punta Cana. Referencia is one of them. (Or La Romana). I have had about six tests to leave to go to US since they started to require it so I have experience with it. PCR and antigen both. Only antigen is required to return to US. About $50 usd most places.

It is better to get the test to leave at a private lab I think. Where are they staying? People on DR1 know where to get tests easily in all parts of the country. I only know Punta Cana (or La Romana). If they specifically want to get the test at Las Americas, maybe someone will know about...

I will also add that all of this takes a lot of involvement by parents who can help their children. Which in many, many case is not possible. So, that is a big downside. They should have computer skills training classes at the schools. in my opinion. The teachers at the colegio did offer...

we used Google Classoom and Google Meet for at home classes last year. My kids learned a lot. They had to store documents in Drive, upload photos of their tarea, etc. And, in the end they had to do presentations using Microsoft Powerpoint. They can learn. And skills transfer from one...

Buying five of the Santillana books and three other kind of books for one child runs up the price at the colegio. Mil seis sientos pesos for each of the Santillana books. There is a discount at the La Sirena stores now for school supplies. If you buy two of the same things, you pay full price...

The first bands of clouds and the breeze are arriving now in Punta Cana.
