PBA puts safety measures in place amid coronavirus threat
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) will implement safety measures for its 45th season opener on Sunday to address the threat of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Venues hosting games are required to provide medical supplies like thermometers and hand sanitizers for the safety of the public.
Commissioner Willie Marcial stated that the league had already postponed its season opener by a week, originally scheduled for March 1, based on his suggestion.
This one-week delay has impacted the league's schedule, potentially extending the entire season until February.
Marcial emphasized that the public's safety remains the PBA's top priority amidst the ongoing health concerns.
