PSC develops guidelines for cautious return of sports during pandemic

The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) has developed guidelines for resuming sports activities during the coronavirus pandemic.

The PSC's sports science arm, the Philippine Sports Institute, created these guidelines following Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) rules and the country's COVID-19 situation.

The guidelines emphasize flexibility based on community case numbers and new research.

PSC also submitted a 'Filipino First' program to the Department of Health (DOH) and IATF, which aims to reintroduce sports activities cautiously while prioritizing athlete and community safety.
