Aji Santoso Questions The Continuation Of League 1 After Andri Ibo Is Positive For COVID-19

JAKARTA - Recently, the world of Indonesian football was shocked by the news that one of the League 1 players was positive for COVID-19. He is the penggawa of Persik Kediri, Andri Ibo. This news makes Persebaya Surabaya coach, Aji Santoso, concerned.

It is hoped that the Andri Ibo case can be a lesson for all parties. He asked Persebaya players and the ranks of the Bajul Ijo coach team to be more vigilant about the danger of COVID-19 transmission.

"We have to be more careful. This can be a lesson for other players to be more careful," he said.

Andri Ibo's case again made Aji Santoso question the continuation of the League 1 competition because League 1 could become a new cluster for the spread of COVID-19 if it was not organized properly.

"My thoughts are, if there are many who are reactive, how about this competition. Is it going on or what?" said Aji.

For this reason, the former coach of the Indonesian national team hopes that PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) can implement strict health protocol standards. He also asked that the standard be set immediately so that there would be no more victims.

"This should be taken seriously, health protocols must be the main thing," he concluded.
