If you’re planning a trip to the Dominican Republic, you may be wondering if you need a COVID-19 test. The answer is yes, if you’re coming from certain countries.

As of October 2020, the Dominican Republic requires a negative COVID-19 test for all travelers coming from the United States, Canada, or Europe. The test must be taken no more than five days before your arrival in the Dominican Republic.

If you don’t have a negative COVID-19 test, you’ll be required to take one at the airport upon arrival. If you test positive, you’ll be required to quarantine for 14 days at a government-approved facility.

So if you’re planning a trip to the Dominican Republic, make sure you get a negative COVID-19 test before you go. It could save you a lot of hassle (and money) in the long run.
