MANILA - The PBA referee who was tagged as a suspected positive case has returned a negative result from an RT-PCR test, the league announced on Sunday.

The referee was extracted from the Quest Hotel on Wednesday morning, and transferred to the quarantine facility, the Athletes' Village in New Clark City. There, he was tested via antigen and RT-PCR, producing a negative result from the antigen. "Hindi pa rin natin ire-relax," said Bases Conversion and Development Authority president Vince Dizon in a press conference.

Instead, the referee will complete his quarantine at the Athletes' Village before he is allowed to return to the Quest Hotel."He has been in quarantine for five days, we'll just allow him to finish the remaining days of his isolation, para lang sigurado tayo," said Dizon. "After the five days, he will re-enter the bubble, but the ref needs to go through the re-entry protocol, which is again another round of PCR testing," he added.The PBA is hopeful that the Blackwater Elite player who tested positive will also wind up returning negative results in his subsequent tests. The player has already produced a negative result following an antigen test on Sunday afternoon.

"Kung ano 'yung ginawa nating protocol sa ating referee, ganoon din po ang gagawin natin sa ating player," Dizon assured. "Napaka-importante na tiong mga protocol natin ay susundin natin at hindi tayo magsho-short cut. Kailangan protektahan natin ang integrity ng bubble," he also said.
