Meanwhile, Saina Nehwal along with HS Prannoy, who also has tested COVID-19 positive have been shifted to the hospital.

Saina Nehwal and HS Prannoy will have to serve a mandatory 10-day quarantine at the Hospital according to rules in Bangkok.

Saina Nehwal’s husband Parupalli Kashyap, who has been identified as close contact, has also been asked to head to the hospital.

Kashyap’s test reports are still awaited.

Meanwhile, Saina Nehwal has expressed displeasure over lack of information over the development.

She said, “I still didn’t receive the covid test report from yesterday it’s very confusing and today just before the warm up for the match they tell me to get to hospital in Bangkok … saying that I am positive. According to rules the report should come in 5 hours.”
