Taiwan’s national badminton association has announced that it is cancelling this year’s Taipei Open championship.
The championship was slated to take place between September 1-6 at Taipei Arena.
However, on Wednesday, the association said it is calling off the event due to concerns about COVID-19 and athlete’s safety. The association says it made the decision after consulting with Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center, other government agencies, and the Badminton World Federation.
