The Vice President of the Republic, Raquel Peña, stated that the next province heading for full opening is Espaillat, for having inoculated 79% of its population with the two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The head of the Health Cabinet (GS) indicated that Espaillat is the third demarcation that reaches more than 70 percent of its vaccinated population, which ensures the elimination of the restrictive measures imposed by the authorities to contain the disease.
Besides, Penya announced that a new vaccination day begins this Tuesday as part of the National Plan VacúnateRD in colleges, universities and schools, to strengthen the university and school community, so that this sector is well armored and everyone is vaccinated.
In the delivery of OAS certifications to companies by Customs, Peña told reporters that the reinforcement has had a very positive impact and that it has been evidenced in the positivity of the contagions, which continues to decline.
“There are other strategies, as the health minister has already announced. We are going to some provinces where it is below the vaccination level and it is going from house to house,” he shared.
