UAAP extends suspension of events until March 17
The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) has suspended all its games until March 17 due to the growing threat of the coronavirus disease in Metro Manila.
Initially, the league announced a suspension only until March 14, but this was extended to give the community more time to adapt to the situation.
The decision aligns with President Rodrigo Duterte's order to suspend classes across all levels in response to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the country.
Events affected by this suspension include volleyball, football, softball, baseball, and high school girls' basketball.
The UAAP will release another announcement on March 16 regarding the future schedule of Season 82 games.
This marks the second postponement for the league this season, with the volleyball tournament previously delayed.
