No tense change should be made because the information is still true. You only need to make tense changes when referring to a past event if it happened a long time ago or the information is out of date You can make changes to time references if the information is being reported at a later date. Some modal verbs always change in reported speech. It isn't necessary to make tense changes if the reporting verb is in the present tense.
