State-run People's Television Network (PTV) on Saturday announced it will temporarily go off the air for at least 24 hours on Sunday, July 19, after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.

In an advisory posted on its Facebook page, PTV management said it will be disinfecting its premises "following a confirmed COVID-19 case among its employees."

However, the network said it will still provide news and information through its social media platforms.
