According to Sigit, the success of the XX National Sports Week activities to the IAWP cannot be separated from the hard work of the Government, the National Armed Forces, National Police, Health Office, volunteers and all other elements of society involved. In preventing the growth rate of the coronavirus, synergy and solidity of all elements of stakeholders are needed.
"And this is also, of course, thanks to the hard work of all good friends from the Police, National Armed Forces, Health Office, all-volunteer elements involved. So that we can control the rate of Covid-19. Currently, the numbers are excellent. Our positivity rate is below 1. Our BOR is below 4 percent, all of which are far from the figure set by WHO," said Sigit.

We can hold international events during the Covid-19 Pandemic situation, and we can still control the numbers, and the entire series of events is safe, smooth and healthy," said Sigit.
