Seluruh Peserta PON XX Papua Wajib Vaksin

Hasil pertemuan PB PON Papua bersama KONI Pusat, mewajibkan semua peserta PON XX 2021, wajib mengikuti vaksin COVID-19, sebelum menjejakkan kakinya di Bumi Cenderawasih.

Hal itu disampaikan Wakil Ketua KONI Pusat yang juga Ketua Panwasrah PON XX Papua, Suwarno, Kamis (18/03/2021).

Dengan demikian, tak hanya atlet, baik ofisial dari masing-masing provinsi maupun panitia pelaksana agenda PON XX di Papua, wajib mendapatkkan vaksin sebelum terlibat didalamnya.

“Bahkan masyarakat disekitar lokasi pertandingan (venue) pun wajib mendapat vaksin”.

“Sehingga pelaksanaan PON pada 2 s/d 15 Oktober 2021 mendatang, tidak menjadi klaster baru penularan COVID-19,” ucapnya.

Suwarno juga meminta seluruh KONI masing-masing provinsi, berkoordinasi dengan pemerintah daerahnya agar, baik atlet maupun ofisial bisa segera di vaksin.

Karena waktu pelaksanaan PON XX sudah semakin dekat. Sehingga di sisa waktu saat ini, dapat dimanfaatkan untuk melengkapi hal-hal yang kurang.

“PON tinggal 196 hari kalau kita berhitung mulai sekarang sampai dengan 2 Oktober 2021. Tapi sebenarnya ada beberapa cabor yang bertanding menggunakan satu venue. Sehingga pada 19 September, sebagian atlet dan ofisial sudah ada yang datang dan bertanding pada tanggal 21 September”.

“Makanya kalau dihitung dari situ, waktu pelaksanaan tinggal 184 hari. Sehingga kita punharus efektif mempersiapkan segalanya, termasuk proses vaksin ini,” kata ia. 

Pada kesempatan itu, Suwarno mengimbau semua pihak yang terlibat dalam kepengurusan PB PON Papua untuk fokus mempersiapkan segala hal yang dibutuhkan, mengingat waktu pelaksanaan semakin dekat.

“Kalau bisa bidang-bidang yang ada segera turun ke klaster untuk menentukan kebijakan apa yang dibuat setelah atlet dan ofisial dari luar Papua tiba. Tentunya ini dilakukan paling lambat usai CDM meeting awal bulan depan,” tandasnya.

The results of the National Sports Week Committee meeting with Central KONI, obliged all participants of National Sports Week XX 2021, to follow the COVID-19 vaccine, before come to Papua.

This was conveyed by the Vice Chairman of KONI Pusat who is also the Chairman of the board of trustees of National Sports Week XX Papua, Suwarno, in a release that was shouted by the editor, Thursday (18/03/2021).

Thus, not only athletes, both officials from each province and the organizing committee of National Sports Week XX must get a vaccine before being involved in it. 

"Even the people around the venue must get a vaccine".

"So that the implementation of National Sports Week on 2 to 15 October 2021 does not become a new cluster of COVID-19 transmission," he said.

Suwarno also asked all KONI of each province, coordinating with the local government so both athletes and officials can be immediately vaccinated.

The implementation of National Sports Week XX is getting closer so that in the rest of the current time, it can be utilized to complement things that are lacking.

"It is only 196 days if we count from now until October 2, 2021. But there are actually several sports who compete using one venue. So on September 19, some athletes and officials came and competed on September 21".

"Therefore, the implementation remains 184 days. So we must also effectively prepare everything, including this vaccine process," he said.

On that occasion, Suwarno urged all parties involved in the management of the National Sports Week Committee to focus on preparing everything needed, considering the implementation time is getting closer.

“If possible, the existing sectors will immediately go down to the cluster to determine what policies will be made after athletes and officials arrive in Papua. Of course this will be done after the CDM meeting early next month," he said.
