UAAP to hold closed-door HS finals games amid coronavirus threat
The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) will hold its boys' and girls' high school basketball finals Game 2 behind closed doors without spectators due to the novel coronavirus scare.
This decision was made after a COVID-19 case was confirmed in San Juan City, where the games will be held.
The 'closed door' format was decided after consultations with the Department of Health, the San Juan local government, and the venue management.
Only players and essential staff will be given access, implementing a 'No UAAP ID, No Entry Policy'.
The UAAP is coordinating with these agencies to ensure the safety of players and essential personnel.
As of posting, only high school basketball is affected by this restriction, though the situation is being monitored daily.
