Puslatda for Papua XX PON Preparations Handed over to the Regional Government

Minister of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia (Menpora RI) Zainudin Amali said the regional training center (pelatda) would be coordinated by the regional government and the Covid-19 Task Force in their respective regions. This is related to the preparation of athletes from each province to the PON Papua in 2021 and the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) on the islands of Java and Bali on July 3-20.

Menpora Amali emphasized that the government, in this case, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, would not go into too deep a connection with the preparation of the regional heads of each province towards the Papua PON in October 2021. "We didn't go there because we already have the territory, there are provincial leaders, there is a task force, the TNI-Polri of course they will see what the conditions are like," he said during a press conference with media crews virtually at the Kemenpora office, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday. July 1st.

According to the Menpora, training camps are usually concentrated in one place. As long as the contingent does it with discipline and applies a bubble system, namely a place to stay to the training ground and vice versa, it will be safe. "Everything must be like that, there must be no business outside Babylon. Once something comes out, it has the potential to bring the virus to the bubble area," he said.

The plan to release the Indonesian contingent, which will go to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics on July 5, is still under discussion. "Indeed, the NOC hopes that this will be on July 5, but in our letter we still submit it to the President. We also convey that there are athletes who will depart on July 8th. So we are waiting from the Palace what the date and place will be," said Menpora Amali.
