The government’s COVID-19 task force has allowed the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) to hold its 46th season slated to begin on Friday, Malacañang said.
The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) gave the go signal on Thursday, said presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
“This, however, is subject to the strict compliance of the health and safety protocols as provided for under the guidelines of the Games and Amusement Board,” he said.
Games and Amusements Board chair Baham Mitra earlier said the games would be held at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City under a “closed-circuit, semi-bubble setup.”
