ANNOUNCEMENT: COVID-19 ALERT SYSTEM TO CODE RED
March 12, 2020
Dear Professional Golfers:
The past few days have seen significant developments relating to the spread of COVID-19 in the Philippines. Due to the confirmation of localized transmission in the country and the possibility of community transmission: the Department of Health (DOH) has raised the COVID-19 Alert System to Code Red, Sublevel 1 as a “preemptive call to ensure that national and local governments and public and private healthcare providers can prepare for possible increase in suspected and confirmed cases.” (https://www.doh.gov.ph/doh-press-release/doh-confirms-local-transmission-of-covid-19-in-ph ).
Given this, the Management of Pilipinas Golf Tournaments Inc. has approved the cancellation of all tournaments until further notice effective March 16, 2020. Please understand that nothing is of greater importance than to maintain the safety and security of our professional golfers, officials and staff.
The Management is monitoring the situation closely and will use this time to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the corona virus pandemic. For inquiries please contact Jhi Castillo, Tour Administrator at +639283165678.
Hoping for your complete cooperation in this matter.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
(Sgd.) Nana Soriano
Executive Director
