The most recent communication from the Dominican Ministry of Public Health (use an automatic translator if you have to)

Dominican authorities are rather swift in stopping 'spillage' of very serious diseases from Haiti into Dominican territory. Almost a decade ago there was a reappearance of polio in a Haitian community in Jarabacoa and it was swiftly taken cared of with not much of anything happening afterward, although polio continued to be an issue in Haiti.

Plus, Dominican authorities have it much easier than the Haitians when it comes to letting the population know of the risk and what to do to prevent being infected since most Dominican households have televisions and radios, which is the most used public announcement medium.

In all likelihood a similar scenario will take place with this cholera ordeal, but take precautions on a just in case basis, especially if you're heading towards the border.
