Tourists face same Covid restriction as locals

Imagine being triple jabbed and STILL fearing the unvaccinated like a plague...
So you're basically admitting that your "vaccine" served no purpose... Which is exactly why you had to take a booster to make up for the previous doses that never worked well in the first place... 🤣

The court ruled the vax card requirement remains in place.
Reality is that very few places of business care.

True until you need to renew your Cedula, Driver License, Passport, etc....................
Don't have cedula, driver's license, and passport is not renewable until 2027. Next problem?
Some of our fellow members are praying the government makes this a permanent way of life. They do not want us going back to the laid back Caribbean lifestyle that initially brought most of us down here.
Although public transportation is not asking for proof of the card, I have noticed a very somber attitude among the passengers lately. Prices are continuing to rise while this government is contuing thier crack down on Dominican culture.
From today's DR1 News:
The Ministry of Public Health Coronavirus Bulletin #589 reports 879 new cases, down from 1,102 on the previous day. The Ministry of Public Health’s Epidemiology Department Coronavirus Bulletin #589 reports active Covid-cases are 6,222, up (+97) from the previous day. The number of active cases is considerably less than the peak of 55,773 active cases registered in July 2020 and the 1,784 cases in June 2021, the second and third waves of cases, and is evidence the vaccines are working.
The Ministry of Public Health says the country is experiencing a fourth wave of the virus, but is hopeful that since 61% of the population has at least two doses of vaccine, and 74% has at least one dose, the outbreak will continue to be manageable.
The most cases are in Greater Santo Domingo (the National District and Santo Domingo province) followed by Santiago, the country’s second largest city.

You are really living, Keep it up...........................Moto Conchos work well I guess.
Yep, them and guaguas, which I used exclusively before the Wuhan Flu and have continued to use after.
If you are not just being sarcastic you need more than prayers
I agree. These places it will be established practice. Maybe banks and supermarkets too. Soon we will get into the boosters every 6 months. Fundamentally I think it should be voluntary but if you don’t want to vaccinate you just will not be able to enter some of the places where there is a lot of people. I just think that’s the way it’s going. It’s public health policy.
Funny how they as foreigners aren't native Dominicans, yet they want to impose their pro-control and pro-dictactorship wishes on the majority of native Dominicans who DO NOT want these mandates.
Foreigners trying to change a country and a culture that isn't theirs.
Do you even know any Dominicans? Almost all I know are fully vaccinated, many have had a booster, and virtually none of it is for travel, but for health and safety.
Also many of my Haitian friends living in the DR.
They're not stupid
That’s true. I think a vast majority of Dominicans are following the recommendation.Do you even know any Dominicans? Almost all I know are fully vaccinated, many have had a booster, and virtually none of it is for travel, but for health and safety.

Fully vaccinated doesn't mean they agree with the MANDATES.
Diaro Libre did a public survey this month and found that 69% of the people disagree with the Vax card, only 31% agree.
Ciudadanos no están de acuerdo en que se exija tarjeta de vacunación para acceder a lugares públicos y privados
1572 personas respondieron una encuesta publicada en Diario Libre sobre si esta a favor o no de esta nueva medida

How about you post actual facts instead of projecting your wishes on the majority of Dominicans.
How about you quit trying to put word in my mouth and stop trying to twist my words. If you want to believe some poll of a whole "1572 people" who "responded to a survey published in Diario Libre" and think that speaks for all Dominican's that's on you.Fully vaccinated doesn't mean they agree with the MANDATES.

I stand by my post... Ahora vete, los adultos están hablando.
Having spent the past week in the DR, my personal experience is that tourists do not face the same covid restrictions that are seemingly being sporadically imposed on citizens/residents
From my arrival, not once was entrance denied to any business or government office. Note that no part of my journey included typical tourist destinations. From the port at Caucedo to restaurants in SD and Santiago, as well as a visit to a EdeNorte office.
It would seem that the mandatory vaccine card has more to do with public relations perceptions for tourism and/or a way to force vaccine compliance. Few that I spoke with really believe that it is actually about the health and welfare of the citizens/residents as much as a way to stop the curfews/state of emergency.... which was crippling the economy...................

It's not being enforced uniformly where I can see, although I admit my sample size is miniscule. I have been to a business 3 times so far, the first time I was denied without the vax card, the second time I was not asked and walked right in (security was there), and the last time I was asked if I had a vax card and when I said no lo tengo, I was let in.
I still plan as if it's going to be enforced, but with gyms and colmados ignoring it altogether from what I can tell, it's really not a big whoop.
