After confirming that an employee of a BGC-based firm tested positive for the novel coronavirus, which is officially known as COVID-19, Sunday activities in the area are temporarily canceled. These are My Sunday Dog Park at the De Jesus Oval and My Sunday Bike Lanes on 31st St.

A statement was released via Facebook.

“In light of the recent reported case in Taguig City, we would like to take precautionary actions to prevent the community spread of COVID-19,” it wrote.

“The health and safety of our BGCitizens are our top priority. We advise everyone to do self-protection measures and avoid crowded areas for now,” it followed.

The said employee is a 48-year-old man, who is the fourth case of the virus reported in the country according to the Department of Health.
