The National women’s team suffered a big blow ahead of their opening fixture against reigning champion, Japan, in the Badminton Asia Team Championships (BATC) 2022 as doubles shuttler M Thinaah tested positive for Covid-19.
The Badminton Association of Malaysia in a Facebook post today stated that the 24-year-old shuttler, who is asymptomatic, was currently observing a period of self-isolation in accordance with the Health Ministry, Youth and Sports Ministry as well as National Sports Council protocol on quarantine.
However, Thinaah’s partner, Pearly Tan was tested negative for the virus.
“Everyone at the association wishes Thinaah a speedy recovery,” it said.
BATC 2022 which kicks off today at the Setia City Convention Centre will be held until Sunday (Feb 20).
