JAKARTA - The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) postponed the continuation of the 2020 League 1 competition. PSSI did not get permission from the crowd from the police.

The Indonesian National Police (Polri) did not issue a permit because they saw the high number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia. The National Police's step was right. This is because many people involved in national football have tested positive for COVID-19.

Not long ago, President Persik Kediri Abdul Hakim Bafagih tested positive for COVID-19 after undergoing a swab test or swab test. Abdul Hakim did a lot of activities in Jakarta and met many people.

In his Instagram account, Abdul Hakim admitted to being in good health. He falls into the category of people without symptoms.

"I want to advise not to ignore health protocols," he wrote.

Apart from the Persik president, a Persipura Jayapura player was also declared exposed to the deadly virus. This was announced by Mutiara Hitam's management on their social media accounts.

Persipura did not mention the player's name. However, currently the person concerned has undergone quarantine as an application of the health protocol.

Previously, two Persebaya Surabaya players were confirmed to have COVID-19. Both of them showed no symptoms and have implemented independent isolation.

Then, there is also the Persik Kediri player, Andri Ibo. This case has made many clubs question how the health protocol is implemented in Liga 1.
