I just wanted to let travellers to the Dominican Republic know that there has been a recent outbreak of Malaria in the country. Many tourists have become infected with the potentially fatal virus, please make sure that you use personal insect protective measures against mosquito bites and take a course of the drug chloroquine prophylaxisis before, during and after your trip. The province La Altagracia, and the southeastern part of the country, area around Punta Cana and Bavaro are the highest risk areas, but it is recommended that all travellers protect themselves. I myself am still going next week, but just wanted to let everybody know, be safe and have fun, if any questions let me know
