The Badminton World Federation (BWF) on Monday suspended a host of its flagship international, junior and para tournaments scheduled from May to July in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It comprises many Grade 2 and 3 events, including HSBC BWF World Tour, BWF Tour and other BWF-sanctioned tournaments.
According to a BWF release, the decision was taken in “close consultation and consensus” with the Host Member Associations (HMA) and Continental Confederations (CC).
Last week, the BWF froze the world rankings and world junior rankings until further notice, with the lists backdated to March 17, 2020.
The virus has so far killed at least 111 and has infected over 4200 in the country.
