JAKARTA - The training camp (TC) of the Indonesian Senior National Team and U-19 has been postponed until August 1. The players took two swab tests before starting training to make sure they were free from COVID-19. This is to prevent the spread of the deadly virus.

PSSI Chairman Mochamad Iriawan said this was at the request of the coach, Shin Tae-yong. The man from South Korea also asked for the training to be closed for the safety of the players.

"Only the players and coaches are on the field," Iriawan told the media.

Currently, Shin Tae-yong is undergoing isolation in his apartment. The players also did the same at the hotel where they were staying. They are waiting for the results of the swab test which was carried out on Friday, July 24 yesterday.

"Shin Tae-yong asked the players to be isolated first," said PSSI Ketum.

As previously reported, the players will undergo several activities while waiting for the test results. The team of doctors will later make nutritional improvements to the players, especially their eating habits.

The players will also carry out training simulations with health protocols at the hotel before the first training. Among them are wearing masks and keeping your distance while doing activities. Then diligently wash your hands with soap, always carry a hand sanitizer and check the temperature regularly.
