The Dominican government extended its free Covid-19 travel insurance program to tourists for another month. The program will now end on 12 June 2021. This program covers tourists that book into participating hotels and resorts in the country. The insurance cover hospitalization, medicines, transportation (ambulances) and hotel expenses incurred during a hospital stay. It even goes so far as to cover any expenses due to a change of flights.

Tourism has been steadily recovering. Tourism Minister David Collado reports that bookings are now at around 65% of those for the same time during the pre-pandemic year of 2019.

I have not read any data on the number of tourists, if any, have used the free medical being offered. If anyone has this information I would like to see it.
Thanks
