"Thank God Coach Shin Tae-yong has arrived in Jakarta. He immediately took a PCR swab test and will undergo a five-day self-quarantine program at the hotel," he said.

Shin Tae-yong, he said, admitted that he was impatient to train the Indonesian national team, but was only able to lead the training five days after carrying out self-quarantine.
