Kanselado ang Miss World 2021 finals sa Puerto Rico na nakatakda ngayong umaga ng Biyernes, Disyembre 17, oras sa Pilipinas.
Ito ay inanunsiyo ng Miss World 2021 organizers dahil umano sa "health and safety interest of contestants, staff, crew and general public."
"After meeting with the virologists and medical experts hired to oversee the Miss World 2021 event and discussing with the Puerto Rico Health Department, the decision has been made by the organizers of the event to postpone the globally broadcast finale at the Puerto Rico Coliseum Jose Miguel Agrelot to be held within the next 90 days," pahayag ng organizers sa isang statement.
"As of yesterday, additional safety measures were implemented in the best interest of the contestants, production team and spectators, understanding the event increased risks on the stage and in the dressing room. However, after additional positive cases were confirmed this morning after consulting with health officials and experts, the postponement decision was made," dagdag pa nito.
Inirekomenda ng medical experts ang agarang pag-quarantine at pagsasailalim sa testing ng mga staff at kandidata ng naturang event.
Kailangan umanong ma-clear ng health officials ang bawat kandidata bago sila payagang umuwi sa kani-kanilang bansa.
“We are very much looking forward to the return of our contestants, (who we have grown to know and love), to compete for the Miss World crown,” ani Julia Morley, CEO ng Miss World Ltd. Puerto Rico offers a safe environment and a spectacular backdrop for filming the Miss World Festival!”
Bago ang desisyon, ilang kandidata ang napabalitang nahawa ng coronavirus disease (COVID-19) kabilang ang delegada ng Indonesia na inisyal na inanunsyong hindi mapapabilang sa finals night.
Tiniyak naman ng organizers na itutuloy pa rin ang naturang kompetisyon subalit mangyayari ito sa susunod pang tatlong buwan.
Samantala, siniguro naman ng organizers ng Miss World Philippines na ligtas at negative sa COVID-19 ang pambato ng Pilipinas na si Tracy Maureen Perez.
