The Grand Committee of Papua's National Sports Week (PB PON) ensured that a series of inaugurations of venues and activities in order for the national event to be held in 2021 will be held virtually.
The decision was according to the Daily Chairman of National Sports Week Committee Papua Yunus Wonda because he did not want any new cluster (corona) after inauguration activities in the framework of National Sports Week XX 2021.
"To that day, we extend our sincere apologies to the Papuans who were unable to attend the inauguration ceremony in the framework of National Sports Week XX".
"We ask the whole community to watch from home, the inauguration ceremony will be conducted live from a number of national and local TV, national and local radio and social media," explained Yunus Wonda in Jayapura, Monday (19/10/2020).
Yunus Wonda was accompanied by Deputy Secretary of Public Relations and PPM PB PON Papua Kadkis Matdoan. He made sure that the only people who would attend the inauguration ceremony would be the Governor of Papua with the ranks and committees.
