All passengers who have been in the United Kingdom in the last two weeks will be subject to a mandatory quarantine upon arrival in the Dominican Republic as part of the new preventive measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 contagion.
Actually, These restrictions are already in place at airports operated by Aeropuertos Dominicanos XXI (Aerodom), as explained by Luis López Mena, director of corporate communications for the consortium.
The UK is facing a new strain of coronavirus, which scientists have found to be more contagious, prompting many countries to suspend travel to that nation.
However, López Mena clarified that by Aerodom terminals do not receive direct flights from the UK.
“It is now established that all the people who have been in the UK in the last two weeks will be subject to mandatory quarantine upon arrival in the country, as a preventive health measure against COVID-19, “he said.
But, he did not explain the places where those people will be transferred upon arrival at national airports.
At the beginning of the pandemic, the Ministry of Public Health set up two centers in the Las Américas airport area where passengers were sent in mandatory quarantine.
One of the authorized Public Health centers operated in the naval base, located in Boca Chica and another in the Club of the General Directorate of Customs, on Las Américas Boulevard.
They will also receive the collaboration of inspectors from the General Directorate of Migration and the Specialized Corps for Airport Security and Civil Aviation (CESAC).
The process is as follows: a valid migrant officer in the passenger’s passport if he has recently visited the UK in the last two weeks.
As established, the traveler was in that country, the migration inspector will notify the public health staff, which will continue to send it to the person in mandatory quarantine.
