The Haitian Government has installed a mobile hospital and tents in front of Haitian customs, in the border community of Cachiman (Belladère) in order to have greater control over the compatriots who return to Haiti.

These facilities are located around 75m from the peripheral fence built by the Dominican Republic, in accordance with the protocols of the demarcation zone between the two countries.

Dr. Watson Eustache, Director of the Cachiman mobile hospital, declared "These measures are taken by the Haitian authorities for the sole purpose of helping our brothers and sisters who have voluntarily decided in recent months to return to Haiti."

Recall that in April only 23,000 Haitians https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-30732-haiti-news-zapping.html returned to Haiti through the various border crossing points.

Once the border separation door has been crossed, health and screening checks will be carried out. Dr. Eustache explained that each citizen, once entering Haitian territory by this passage from the Dominican Republic, will be subject to the rules of social distancing, and will receive masks, a health check file will be completed and a health assessment or a rapid test will be performed to detect suspected cases of Covid-19.

All the people will then be transferred and quarantined in tents which have been installed in a fenced area and guarded by the Haitian authorities.
