The Badminton World Federation (BWF) is closely monitoring the ongoing situation regarding the coronavirus and its impact on international badminton and Para badminton competitions. We understand that several countries have implemented entry restrictions for individuals from China and foreign nationals who have recently visited China. Additionally, numerous airlines have suspended services to and from China.
These circumstances present various challenges, and the BWF is actively examining the implications of these travel restrictions. It is possible that players and officials from China may face difficulties participating in certain BWF-sanctioned tournaments. However, we want to emphasize that the BWF will not restrict the participation of Chinese players and officials, or any other individuals, in international badminton and Para badminton tournaments.

Chinese athletes are welcome to attend events, and we trust that tournament hosts will provide full assistance and treat all athletes from all Member Associations (MAs) equally. To ensure the safety of all participants, we have requested MAs and hosts to contact their national health authorities and seek advice on prevention and necessary actions should an incident occur. We acknowledge that each Member Association’s national health authority may have its own rules and procedures that vary from region to region.

Given the evolving nature of the situation, it is crucial for us to collaborate closely with key stakeholders such as the Chinese Badminton Association (CBA), all Member Associations, tournament hosts, as well as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to establish global and regional measures. We will communicate a set of common-sense measures endorsed by the IOC that tournament hosts can implement to ensure the safety and well-being of participants at their events.
In the meantime, all regular tournament conventions and etiquette, such as the coin toss, shaking of hands, and medal ceremonies, will continue to apply at badminton events.
The BWF is carefully evaluating all relevant health, safety, and logistical risks, and we will provide updates to the entire badminton community regarding any further developments related to the coronavirus.
