The National Confederation of Transport Organizations (Conatra), a leading public transport private company, says that as of 1 June 2021, drivers need to show a vaccination card to be authorized to work.
The measure is adopted due to the surge in Covid-19 infections in recent days.
Mario Diaz, spokesperson for the transport company, said that Conatra as of the second week of June, will be asking passengers using the interurban transport routes of Conatra to present a vaccination card.
“We adopt these measures with great responsibility and against our will, because we have to respect the norms, we have to help the government with this serious problem and we have to protect the Dominican population, especially the users of the passenger transportation service in our country”, exclaimed Diaz.
After making the announcement, Diaz also asked the transport workers of the other unions to get vaccinated and to vaccinate all their families.
