TAMPA TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE THIS AFTERNOON REGARDING STATUS OF UPCOMING EVENTS INCLUDING WRESTLEMANIA

There will be a press conference today at 1:30 PM in Tampa, Florida with Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and members of her team at the Emergency Management Center in Tampa to discuss the city's plans for major events going forward in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. As previously noted, there is slated to be a meeting at 12 PM to discuss future large scale events in the city.

When asked this morning at a press conference about the local medical outlook due to the coronavirus outbreak about the status of Wrestlemania, Castor commented, "We don't have to take immediate action for events weeks down the road."

Another Hillsbough County official, Lesley "Les" Miller, Jr. stated that the Hillsborough County Emergency Policy Group wanted to have the proper time to deal with all events before making any official announcements.

PWInsider.com is told there are several WWE officials currently in Tampa.

When asked who would make the final call on the status of Wrestlemania 36 yesterday during an interview with Drew Garabo on 102.5 The Bone FM in Tampa, Mayor Castor said WWE can 'weigh in' but the city locally would have the final call.
