Philippines—PBA teams will take care of their players’ hospital bills if they test positive for COVID-19, the league’s Board of Directors decided during their meeting Saturday.
“The teams will take care of the hospital bills once a player gets infected with COVID-19,” said PBA commissioner Willie Marcial in Filipino in a story on the PBA website. “This is like when a player gets injured, so there’s really no need for any insurance.”
Upon Ginebra governor Alfrancis Chua’s suggestion, the league decided to upgrade COVID-19 testing to swab tests instead of the initial rapid-swab-rapid order that will be done every 10 days.
