The Ministry of Tourism on 7 August 2021 issued Resolution DJ-022/2021 that allows hotels to book 100% of their capacity. Hotels need to continue the protocols for social distancing to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
The same resolution sets at 90% the capacity for the transporting of tourists and employees. Tour companies, maritime transportation and aquatic activities are still limited to 85% capacity.
The resolution maintains the mandatory use of face masks in enclosed public and private spaces. Tourism establishments need to ensure social distancing rules continue.

La Altagracia (Punta Cana) 2.99%
