ExpandI used to live and work in China, and still have many local and foreign friends there. I lived near Shanghai, so not around Wuhan. It would be like New York City vs Oklahoma City. It is the Lunar New Year holiday there, so people are already traveling all around the country and beyond. Some of my Chinese friends cut their vacations short so they could get a flight back home before airlines/countries discontinued service. They're not too concerned besides now trying to deal with the closed borders. We're all in education, so teachers not returning after break and students staying home is the problem. Local governments have already extended the "holiday" by a week to see what happens, but most schools have started to set up online classes.
Foreign friends cannot get back into the country. Maybe are working to extend "vacations". That might sound fun, but it's a mad scramble right now logistically. They left their homes thinking they'd be gone 2-3 weeks, and now are locked out for lord knows how long. Who knows if they'll get paid while this is going on, but they have to arrange flights and hotels and everything else.
But the worst is the foreigners who had friends/family visit over the break. Now it's a dash trying to get them out of the country. Stories of Westerners with Chinese spouses and mixed children being torn between being evacuated by their government of staying with their families. Trying to get visiting relatives through checkpoints and to the the airports.
All the same, China gets a bad rap but it's a pretty cool place. Sad to see this happening. Racists gonna racist, but the country is beautiful and the people are delightful. People blaming their way of life need to consider that 20% of the world's population lives in China. Chances are poop's going to start there.
Thank you very much for your explanation. I really pitied those citizens in China especially those living in Wuhan. Imagine living in the city where the deadly virus is spread and then being able to leave the city waiting for their death. My heart broken reading so many news about people dying nonstop in Wuhan and also differentb parts of China. Man this is so sad. I certainly hope this coronavirus will stop spreading. 
First good move made by BWF. Pospone the Lingshui China Masters which will be held in Fabruary after knowing that Corona Virus have spread to different parts of China.
BWF STATEMENT ON POSTPONEMENT OF LINGSHUI CHINA MASTERS
01 FEBRUARY, 2020
TEXT BY BWF STAFF
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) and Chinese Badminton Association (CBA) can confirm the decision to postpone the Lingshui China Masters 2020 until a later date in the wake of growing concerns over the coronavirus outbreak in China and surrounding areas.
BWF and CBA have considered all necessary health, safety and logistical risks and both parties believe it is sensible to postpone the tournament at this time. It may be noted that many players have already withdrawn from the tournament.
Exact replacement dates are yet to be established but alternative options are being discussed with a new time slot for May earmarked as a possibility.
The tournament was due to be held from 25 February to 1 March, 2020.
Both BWF and CBA are in dialogue with the tournament host as well as Member Associations and players to adjust travel plans and revise tournament planning.
The Lingshui China Masters 2020 was one of the qualifying events for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. With a likely new date for May or later, ranking points from this event will now no longer contribute to Olympic qualifying as it will be outside the qualification window.
The BWF is continuing to monitor all official updates on the coronavirus and is mindful that HSBC BWF World Tour and other BWF-sanctioned tournaments may be affected, but there are no concrete plans or decisions at this point to change the status of any other events.
The BWF can also confirm that Badminton Asia is reviewing its flagship event, the 2020 Badminton Asia Championships to be staged in Wuhan, China, and the BWF will support Badminton Asia and CBA in this process. It is, however, too early at this time to make any final conclusions related to this event.
The 2020 Badminton Asia Championships falls within the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualification window and is one of the last opportunities for athletes to qualify for the Olympics Games.
BWF will continue to update the entire badminton community on any further announcements related to the coronavirus outbreak.
Edited by up and downAs can be seen from various different news, coronavirus has indeed spread to different parts of China and by now all the different districts in China has been reported to have patients infected with coronavirus. Due to this any part of China is no longer deemed as safe. Death toll due to coronavirus continue to increase. Due to this China is no longer a safe country to visit. Holding any sports events in any part of China is definitely posing danger to athletes health. Due to this any sport tournaments that is scheduled to be held in China should be cancelled or changed to be held in other countries due to athletes safety. We do not want to see any Tokyo 2020 Olympics bound athletes to be infected with Coronavirus for sure.

Coronavirus: Death toll rises as virus spreads to every Chinese region
30 January 2020
The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak has risen to 170, and a confirmed case in Tibet means it has reached every region in mainland China.
Chinese health authorities said there were 7,711 confirmed cases in the country as of 29 January.
Infections have also spread to at least 15 other countries.
The World Health Organization (WHO) are again meeting in Geneva to consider whether the virus should be declared a global health emergency.
Various countries have implemented evacuation and quarantine plans for nationals wanting to return from China, where the outbreak began in the city of Wuhan.
Russia has decided to close its 4,300km (2,670-mile) far-eastern border with China in an attempt to stop contagion.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus named Germany, Vietnam and Japan, as places where people had caught the virus from others who had visited China.
"Although the numbers outside China are still relatively small, they hold the potential for a much larger outbreak," he said, adding that human-to-human transmission was a concern.
More people have now been infected in China than during the Sars outbreak in the early 2000s, but the death toll remains far lower. Sars, also a coronavirus, caused acute respiratory illness.
Researchers are racing to develop a vaccine to protect people from the virus. One lab in California has plans for a potential vaccine to enter human trials by June or July.
What's the latest on evacuations?
Voluntary evacuations of hundreds of foreign nationals from Wuhan are under way to help people who want to leave the closed-off city and return to their countries.
The UK, Australia, South Korea, Singapore and New Zealand are expected to quarantine all evacuees for two weeks to monitor them for symptoms and avoid any contagion.
Britons in Wuhan to return home on Friday
Australia plans to quarantine its evacuees on Christmas Island, 2,000km (1,200 miles) from the mainland in a detention centre that has been used to house asylum seekers.
The Costa Smeralda cruise ship, carrying 6,000 people, is stuck at port near Rome
Singapore is setting up a quarantine facility on Pulau Ubin, an island north-east of the city-state's mainland.
In other developments:
Chicago health officials have reported the first US case of human-to-human transmission of the deadly coronavirus
Six thousand people on board a cruise ship in Italy were barred from disembarking after a Chinese passenger was suspected of having coronavirus; however initial tests have come back as negative
Flights to take British and South Korean citizens out of Wuhan have both been delayed after relevant permissions from the Chinese authorities did not come through
Two flights to Japan have already landed in Tokyo. Three passengers have so far tested positive for the virus, Japanese media report
Around 200 US citizens have been flown out of Wuhan and are being isolated at a military base in California for at least 72 hours
Two aircraft are due to fly EU citizens home with 250 French nationals leaving on the first flight
India has confirmed its first case of the virus - a student in the southern state of Kerala who was studying in Wuhan
Japan's first flight with evacuees arrived on Wednesday
How is China handling the outbreak?
Although questions have been raised about transparency, the WHO has praised China's handling of the outbreak. President Xi Jinping has vowed to defeat what he called a "devil" virus.
The central province of Hubei, where nearly all deaths have occurred, is in a state of lockdown. The province of 60 million people is home to Wuhan, the heart of the outbreak.
The city has effectively been sealed off and China has put numerous transport restrictions in place to curb the spread of the virus.
The WHO warns the virus holds the potential for a much larger outbreak
People who have been in Hubei are also being told by their employers to work from home until it is considered safe for them to return.
The virus is affecting China's economy, the world's second-largest, with a growing number of countries advising their citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to the country.
How are coronavirus patients treated?
How worried should we be?
Several international airlines have stopped or scaled back their routes to China and companies like Google, Ikea, Starbucks and Tesla have closed their shops or stopped operations.
There have been reports of food shortages in some places. State media says authorities are "stepping up efforts to ensure continuous supply and stable prices".
The Chinese Football Association has announced the postponement of all games in the 2020 season.
Who has been affected?
Although there have been nearly 8,000 infections, there has been little detailed information released on the profiles of patients and how the disease affects them.
Most of the confirmed cases involve people either from Wuhan or who had close contact with someone who had been there.
A new study published by The New England Journal of Medicine on the coronavirus is based on data for the first 425 confirmed cases in Wuhan. It reveals:
Of the 425, 55% diagnosed before 1 January were linked to the seafood and animal market believed to be at the centre of the outbreak, compared with 8.6% of the subsequent cases
The average age was 59 years and 56% were men
Almost half the 425 cases were adults 60 years of age or older
Human-to-human transmission among close contacts has occurred since the middle of December
In its early stages, the epidemic doubled in size every seven days
89% of the patients were not hospitalised until at least day five of illness
In this case, BWF is just yet another total failure. BWF refused to move tournaments out of China. So as the outcome so many countries have withdrawn their players from playing in tournaments held in China. Worse still the BAC which is scheduled to be held in Wuhan, China. BWF still say it is too early to make a decision and will still want this tournament to be held in Wuhan, China. No plans made to shift the tournament to other places. What kind of response is this? Is BWF purposely putting badminton players health at risk?
Edited by up and downhttps://bwfbadminton.com/news-single/2020/01/29/bwf-statement-on-coronavirus-outbreak/
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) will continue to closely monitor implications related to the coronavirus outbreak in China and surrounding areas with all necessary health, safety and travel precautions currently being considered.
We also acknowledge today’s decisions to suspend flights to and from China in some countries and we are mindful of the complications this may have on the HSBC BWF World Tour, other BWF-sanctioned tournaments, and the badminton community in general.
Currently, no decision has yet been made on any change in status to the Lingshui China Masters 2020 scheduled to take place between 25 February to 1 March in Lingshui, China, but the BWF is working with local organisers and the Chinese Badminton Association to create greater clarity around any risks.
The BWF can also confirm that Badminton Asia is reviewing its flagship event, the 2020 Badminton Asia Championships to be staged in Wuhan, China, and the BWF will support Badminton Asia and the Chinese Badminton Association in this process. It is, however, too early at this time to make any final conclusions related to this event.
The 2020 Badminton Asia Championships falls within the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualification window and is one of the last opportunities for athletes to qualify for the Olympics Games.
ExpandLOL , all the country is contaminated , china tries to hide the truth just like many countries
Anyway & certainly this virus was created into labs , they planed to exterminate 1/3 of people
You are right. China is forever doing a poor job in this. Last time when SARS broke in China from 2002 till 2003, China hide the truth and refused to let the whole world knew about how severe is the virus. So horrible. As the outcome of it so many innocent people in China died.

Badminton Asia Confederation definitely fear to bear the responsibility of athletes infection especially during the Olympic year. The host city is definitely gonna change, but if it's in China is still questionable.
The latest news I read is that PBSI, Indonesia Badminton Association has already suggested to Badminton Asia Confederation and BWF to move Badminton Asia Championship not to be held in Wuhan, China as long as the Corona Virus is still spreading rapidly in Wuhan.
ExpandI am not following Badminton, but if said tournament is to take place in Wuhan city itself, its 100% that it will be moved as the city is under lockdown/quarantine (and probably will be for the foreseeable future)
Whether or not it will be moved out of China altogether will probably depend on how this situation evolves in the coming weeks
Thank you very much for your reply.

Yes I totally agree with you. The host city must change. It should be moved out from China altogether for safety reasons. The whole of Indonesian team as far as I know has pulled out of Lingshui China Masters 2020. They are also considering pulling out their badminton players from playing in BAC now. So this is getting severe. Somehow the event must be shifted out from China. To do this they need to start finding countries who can host this event starting from now.
ExpandA lots of Olympic qualification events in February have moved to elsewhere outside China including boxing, basketball and football. Those will be held in March and April are not that urgent to decide. I suppose March events may suspend or change the location, April events may be held as usual if the virus is over.
As the government putting all available resource to contain the virus spread including transport restriction in Wuhan and the social awareness arising to prevent the virus by 'strictly staying at home and cutting off social contact', I personally think the virus outbreak would gradually decrease in mid Feb and end in March
Thank you very much for your reply. However I personally think that the virus will still keep on spreading and it might take 1 whole year to subside. The SARS epidemic happened in year 2002 up to year 2003. So I still think that it is best to think of another venue to hold BAC to be on the safe side. This is Olympic qualification year and we do not want anything untoward to happen to any badminton players.

ExpandI don't think they'll cancel or move an event this early. I would though be surprised if they don't consider moving it (especially as it's in Wuhan), maybe even already considering potential hosts (should be a bunch of potential hosts who could put it up fairly quick).
Give it a bit more time, I would say.
Thank you very much for your reply.
As can be seen from the examples of news given above, lots of sporting events for Tokyo 2020 Olympics qualification have been moved out from China and held in other countries instead due to the vast spreading Corona Virus in China. Safety of the athletes should come first. Therefore, it is also highly recommended that the Badminton Asia Championship which is sheduled to be held in Wuhan, China in the month of April can also be shifted and held in another country.

OLYMPIC QUALIFYING EVENTS IN CHINA CANCELLED, RESCHEDULED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS
A number of Olympic qualifying events have been cancelled or rescheduled as a result of the deadly coronavirus outbreak in China, the IOC has said. The virus has killed at least 17 according to Chinese public health officials and sickened more than 600 as of Thursday.
Officials have quarantined the entire city of Wuhan, with 11 million residents, aand cases of the disease have been identified in all Chinese provinces, with at least one case detected in Washington state in the U.S. The new virus is part of a family of viruses that also includes SARS and MERS viruses. The virus is believed to have originated from a wholesale seafood market in Huanan, China, with the latest theories being that it originated in the meat of venomous snakes, though there are others who disagree with that idea.
Besides Wuhan, nearby central Chinese cities of Huanggang and Ezhou have been locked down.
Cases have also been reported in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Japan, and Macau.
State-run Beijing News says that a number of events have been cancelled, including several celebrations of the Chinese New Year that comes this weekend. Events in Shenzhen have also been cancelled.
Shenzhen and Beijing played host to last week’s FINA Champions Series, where a number of the world’s best swimmers were in China to compete for a portion of $2 million in prize money. There have been no reports yet of any swimmers being infected with the virus, though if the Champions Series had been scheduled any later, officials may have been forced to cancel the event.
Other Olympic qualifying events have been moved or cancelled, however:
An Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Olympic qualifying match in women’s soccer has been moved from Wuhan to Nanjing. That will include teams from Australia, China, Thailand, and Taiwan (Chinese Taipei).
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic boxing tournament for Asia and Oceania has been cancelled. That tournament was scheduled for February 3rd-14th in Wuhan. This was the first Olympic qualifying event for boxing, and will be rescheduled. With the international boxing federation AIBA currently suspended by the IOC for finance and government issues, the IOC Boxing Task Force is managing Olympic qualifying – this after the sport was narrowly spared from an Olympic cut altogether. India has offered to host the tournament.
Update: the Asian/Oceanian Tokyo 2020 boxing qualifying event will be held in Amman, Jordan from March 3rd-11th.
Wuhan, the city at the center of the outbreak, is not a regular host of major swim meets, and China’s next Olympic qualifying-caliber event is the National Swimming Championships from March 28th-April 5th in Qingdao. Qingdao confirmed its first case of coronavirus-related pneumonia late on Tuesday evening.
China sporting events cancelled due to coronavirus outbreak
Last Updated: 24/01/20 1:00pm
The coronavirus has killed 26 people in China.
A number of sporting events have been cancelled in China, following the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus.
Olympic qualifying events in boxing and women's football were due to be held next month in Wuhan, but both have now been cancelled.
So far, 26 people have been killed by the outbreak in China and more than 880 have been infected.
The virus can cause pneumonia and symptoms include coughing, breathing difficulties and a fever.
In the UK, flights from China are now being monitored.
Team GB Basketball are due to head to the country next month for their qualifiers for Tokyo 2020. At the moment, those are going ahead as planned.
Regarding the women's basketball qualifiers, International Basketball Federation, FIBA, said: "FIBA is monitoring the situation in China closely in the build up to the FIBA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments, with one of the four tournaments set to be played in Foshan, China from February 6 to 9.
"Our top priority is to ensure the health and safety of the teams participating, as well as the fans travelling to support them.
"Based on the information at our disposal, the Qualifying Tournament remains in Foshan.
"We continue to be in daily communication with the Local Organising Committee, the Chinese Basketball Association and the FIBA China Office, as well as the local authorities and relevant health authorities to ensure we are up-to-date on the very latest situation."
Boxing title fight postponed
Jose Ramirez's mandatory title defence against Viktor Postol has been postponed
Unified junior welterweight world champion Jose Ramirez's mandatory title defence against Ukrainian Viktor Postol has been postponed due to the coronavirus concerns, promoters Top Rank said on Friday.
The bout was scheduled to take place at Mission Hills resort in Haikou on February 1, but the organisers said a new date and venue will be determined soon.
"The health and safety of our fighters and everyone working on the event is the most important thing," Top Rank chairman Bob Arum said.
"We hope the situation is brought under control soon. We look forward to staging events at Mission Hills Haikou in the very near future."
'Countermeasures' in place for Tokyo 2020
Tokyo 2020 Olympics organisers say "countermeasures against infectious diseases" are in place, amid fears over the disease spreading.
"Countermeasures against infectious diseases constitute an important part of our plans to host a safe and secure games," Tokyo 2020 said in a statement.
Kazuhiro Tateda, president of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, said on Wednesday: "We have to be very careful about what kind of infectious diseases will appear at the Tokyo Olympics.
"At these kinds of mass gatherings, the risks increase that infectious diseases and resistant bacteria can be carried in."

Coronavirus puts more sports events in China under question
Kelvin Tan, Asia Editor
January 24, 2020
China’s General Administration of Sport has instructed the country’s sports associations to consider cancelling upcoming events as far as April in response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak in the country, according to local media reports.
Yesterday, the Federation of Automobile and Motorcycle Sports of the People’s Republic of China (CAMF) issued a statement saying: “As part of efforts to prevent and control the outbreak of a new type of coronavirus, in accordance with the instruction from the General Administration of Sport ‘On Suspending All Sports Competitions Until April’, the organizing committee has decided to temporarily cancel a car rally in Changbaishan, scheduled for February 12 to 14.”
The notice was taken down later in the day, but local media reports said the GAS has told all associations to report on their upcoming tournaments and decide whether to postpone or cancel them.
Formula E’s Chinese fixture, which is held on the island of Hainan in Sanya, is scheduled for March 21. According to a Formula E spokesperson quoted by Motorsportweek, the race is currently going ahead as planned: “As it stands, the race in Sanya on March 21 is still scheduled to go ahead as planned. The uncertainty stemmed from an incorrect statement issued locally in China, which published wrong and misleading information and has since been removed.
“Given the current health concerns, we are continuing to closely monitor the situation as it develops on a daily basis.
“We have requested that our regional partner works together with the local motorsport federation, to liaise with the relevant authorities in Hainan province to further analyse and assess the situation, and provide recommendations on preparations for the race.”
Other major sports events that fall in the period and could be affected include the Chinese Super League, which is to kick off on February 22, the football Super Cup fixture between Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai Shenhua on February 5, the AFC Champion League qualifier involving CSL side Shanghai SIPG and Thai League 1 side Buriram United on the January 28, and a Fifa World Cup 2022 qualifier between China and the Maldives on March 26.
The Hong Kong Football Association cancelled this Sunday’s Lunar New Year Cup football game in a last-minute decision. The Cup was to be held at Mong Kok Stadium, with a Hong Kong team taking on a League Selection XI, as well as a women’s match between the Hong Kong team and a youth squad.
HKFA chairman Pui Kwan-kay said: “The government is concerned that many fans may want to attend the event on Sunday which may cause potential risk. After deliberation we decided it would be better to call off the competition.”
Last year, three overseas teams were invited for the tournament, which included Sagan Tosu of Japan, Auckland City of New Zealand and CSL side Shandong Luneng. This year, social unrest in Hong Kong meant no foreign teams were to participate, forcing the HKFA to use local teams only.
The coronavirus outbreak has already forced Tokyo 2020 qualifying events in boxing and women’s football scheduled for next month in Wuhan, China to be moved from the quarantined city.
Wuhan was to host teams from China, Chinese Taipei/Taiwan, Thailand and Australia in Asian women’s football qualifiers from February 3 to 9. The Asia/Oceania boxing qualifiers were to take place from February 3 to 14.
We all know that Corona Virus is spreading very fast in Wuhan, China. Death toll arising in Wuhan, China. Thus far Corona Virus has also spread to different parts of China and it has become uncontrollable. Due to that it is extremely dangerous for tournaments to be held in China. Well Lingshui China Masters will be held as usual and no cancellation but it is alright since it is only WT 100 tournament and players can opt not to play there due to health reasons. However BAC will be held in Wuhan, China. We cannot cancel BAC as it offers ranking points for Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Due to that I am suggesting for the BAC event in April be held in other countries and not in Wuhan, China. This is because we want to prevent badminton players from Asia based countries to be infected with Corona Virus before Tokyo 2020 Olympics. So those who agree for BAC to be shifted to be held in other countries please sign up for petition here. Thank you very much and your kindness is greatly appreciated.
You can also suggest suitable countries to take over to host the BAC here. Thank you very much.

Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd. -

Has the quota for Canada been offically confirmed anyway, or is that just a rumour? I can't find anything on google about it (nor the suggested quota for England's athletes someone posted earlier). 12 per gender would make sense (it's roughly what Canada sent to Birmingham). 12 overall seems dumb. -
Some sports have qualification systems 3x3 basketball (wheelchair) Para-cycling Powerlifting Weightlifting -
By JoshMartini007 · Posted
In the past few games, Canada (and other nations) was given an overall athlete quota which they then divided it through the various sports. -
Whose decision was this, Team Canada's or the Organising committes? -

I’ve been told there are no straight finals planned for the swimming.

Agreed.
