The air ambulance (rearjet 60 model) carrying Shin coach took off from Jakarta at 8:20 am (local time), and arrived at Incheon Airport at 6:40 pm that day.

Director Shin said in a phone call with a Yonhap News correspondent before returning home that day, “Corona 19 was cured after treatment, but other chronic diseases worsened, so I decided to return to Korea after receiving treatment.”

He added, “Before I was diagnosed with Corona 19, I had a hard time without knowing the name of the disease for two weeks,” he added. “The condition is still fine,” he added.

Earlier, coach Shin suspected that he was infected with Corona 19 due to fever symptoms, sore throat, and loss of appetite after the coaches were diagnosed with Corona 19 from early this month.

However, the negative test was repeated over and over again, so I couldn’t get any treatment and suffered weight loss.

As a result of the fourth gene amplification (PCR) test, he was diagnosed with Corona 19 at the dawn of the 20th, and was hospitalized at a general hospital in Jakarta on the same day.

Director Shin conducted a close examination during the hospitalization process and found that the chronic disease had worsened independently of the Corona 19 infection, and confirmed symptoms such as some water filling in the lungs while undergoing treatment.

Director Shin said it was not easy to get treatment for chronic diseases locally, and according to the wishes of his family, he decided to receive treatment at a large hospital in the capital area.

He recovered from the Corona 19 infection and received a negative test result on the 26th, so he could ride a regular airliner, but he saw that a problem could occur at high altitude due to his health condition, and he spent about 130 million won in his own expense to charter an air ambulance.

It is reported that the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) paid only the cost of Shin’s treatment at a hospital in Jakarta.

The air ambulance used by Director Shin was introduced by the Korean Embassy.

The Embassy and the Korean Cultural Center did not spare any support, including consultations with the Indonesian Athletic Youth Department and the Indonesian Football Association until Shin was confirmed and boarded an air ambulance.

In the meantime, Korean residents in the Jakarta metropolitan area and residents in Surabaya have chartered an air ambulance through Flying Doctors and entered Korea, respectively, as symptoms such as pneumonia worsened after the corona 19 confirmed.

On the morning of that day, an air ambulance in Singapore flew to Jakarta, picked up Director Shin and Indonesian medical staff, and landed at Incheon Airport after passing through Clark Airport in the Philippines.

After arriving at Incheon International Airport, Shin was admitted to a large hospital in the metropolitan area in an ambulance vehicle.

Director Shin said, “In consultation with the Football Association, I was planning to spend a month vacation in Korea with all the Korean coaches from the 29th of this month to the 30th of next month.” “I will return to Jakarta after entering Korea and recovering health. “I emphasized.

The Indonesian Football Association announced in a press release that “Shin has recovered from the Corona 19 infection, but has agreed to temporarily return to Korea because he wants to meet his family.”
