Saina Nehwal Clarifies ‘It’s Very Confusing’ Amidst The Reports Of Testing Coronavirus Positive 

Indian badminton player, Saina Nehwal is currently in Thailand to participate in the Open tournament. However, on Tuesday several viral reports stated that she tested positive for Coronavirus, alongside HS Prannoy. Both of them were apparently kept under quarantine. She now reveals that ‘it’s very confusing’, as everyone started saying that she is COVID-19 positive even without getting the health report.

The Badminton Association of India (BAI) revealed in a tweet post that Saina and Prannoy, both have been withdrawn from the open tournament due to their health concerns. Both of them would have to be isolated at an hospital in Bangkok for around 10 days. “Two Indian players have tested positive for COVID-19 — Saina Nehwal and HS Prannoy.
