Monday, 5 November is a holiday in the Dominican Republic. As is the custom, DR1 Daily News will not publish on that day. The Saturday, Sunday, Monday news will instead be compiled for the Tuesday, 6 November edition. The holiday commemorates Constitution Day which is actually on 6 November but is celebrated on Monday to allow for a long weekend. This is the last long weekend of the year. Those driving to resort areas should return early to avoid traffic jams and bottlenecks.
