Santo Domingo.- COVID-19 continues to be the respiratory virus with the greatest presence in the Dominican Republic, according to the most recent data from the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (Sinave), which maintains SARS-CoV-2 as the main agent detected among the respiratory infections monitored in the country.

The report, corresponding to epidemiological week 25, covering June 21 to June 27, indicates that the virus’s behavior remains at levels similar to those recorded during the same period in 2025.

Health authorities explain that the information comes from virological surveillance carried out at sentinel sites, used to monitor the circulation of respiratory viruses and timely detect possible changes in their behavior.
