Some travel agents are advising people not to go to the Dominican Republic because of the rash of sicknesses and deaths there in the past 12 months.

Eleven American tourists have died in the Caribbean country since June 2018 in suspicious circumstances, while others became violently ill but survived. Counterfeit alcohol is being eyed as the cause of the deaths and sicknesses.
