KEEPING COVID-SAFE IN THE SUN

-

THE best of Caribbean life is outdoors, so it’s not difficult to keep your distance from other tourists.

Most islands require visitors to be double vaccinated, and most of the top hotels require the same of their drivers and staff, so in theory you will be in an environmen­t with a low likelihood of Covid transmissi­on. However, vaccine take-up among the general population is fairly low in the Caribbean despite efforts to remedy that situation. And the Dominican Republic remains on the Government’s red list.
