The socialization is considered important for the sustainability of PON XX Papua. The reason is that the government does not want the biggest sports tournament in Indonesia to become the latest cluster of Covid-19 outbreaks.
All the preparations were said to have been done as well as possible. Socialization has also been carried out since July this year so that people can vaccinate to reduce the risk of transmission in Papua.

“We have made preparations as well as possible. The socialization has been carried out since last July intensively to invite the Papuan people to carry out vaccinations,” said Didik Suhardi to the beginning of the media virtually, Thursday (23/9/2021).
The government also targets that people in Papua, especially those who live around the venue, have vaccinated as much as 70 percent. This is to reduce the risk of transmission.
“The vaccine target is 70 percent for residents who live around the venue to prevent further transmission. Until now, people in Papua who have carried out vaccinations have also approached this number,” added Didik.

To be able to complete this target, the Ministry of Health and BNPB also provide vaccination posts around the venue. If this figure is achieved, the community can be more active in participating in the success of the PON event in Papua.
“For the audience, the Ministry of Health and BNPB have prepared a vaccination post to reduce problems. With this, it is hoped that the audience can play a more active role in the success of PON,” he concluded.
