JAKARTA - The Indonesia Basketball League (IBL) competition will be continued on 4 September. A number of preparations have been made by the league operators.

Several new regulations have been enacted. Health protocols have also been neatly structured. Now, it's just a matter of waiting for the "green light" from the government.

To get permission to hold a competition, the IBL operator held an audience with Deputy 1 of the COVID-19 Task Force, Wisnu Widjaja. In this meeting, IBL explained the activity plan and the things that had been prepared.

"At the same time ask for directions from the task force for steps that must be followed in order to continue the IBL competition," said IBL President Director, Junas Miradiarsyah.

On this occasion, IBL also submitted a health protocol document in the form of a training guide and a guideline for organizing activities that had been compiled. The hope is that there will be input from the COVID-19 Task Force if improvements are needed.

"At the direction of the federation and related ministries, the implementation of an activity can be carried out with the permission of the authorities," said Junas.

The Indonesian Basketball Association in its guidelines, obliges all players, officials and club staff of IBL to take a PCR test before the match starts. Reportedly, IBL will try to pay for the PCR test costs to be borne by the government or the private sector so that clubs can reduce costs.

Understandably, the PCR test does require a lot of money. Based on the data collected, the cost for one PCR can reach two million rupiah.
