The Center for Disease Control of the United States included the Dominican Republic in its 18 April 2022 release of Covid-19 Travel Notices. The Dominican Republic is now at Level 1: Low Level of Covid-19.
The United States is the main source of tourists and travelers to the Dominican Republic.
With the 18 April 2022 notice, the CDC updated its Covid-19 THN system. Level 4 will no longer be based on Covid-19 incidence or case count alone. It will be reserved for special circumstances, such as rapidly escalating case trajectory or extremely high case counts, emergence of a new variant of concern, and healthcare infrastructure collapse. Levels 3, 2, and 1 will still be primarily determined by 28-day incidence or case counts.
The CDC 4-level system categorizes international destinations into the following levels:
Level 4: Special Circumstances / Do Not Travel
