Stavngaard and the rest of the Danish team have followed all protocols in connection with entry into England and tournament participation for the All England Open.
He underwent a PCR test on Friday morning after training at the National Elite Training Center, which was negative. He was to present the negative PCR test in connection with his flight to Heathrow on Sunday afternoon together with the rest of the Danish team.
The entire Danish team was PCR-tested at the hotel on Monday morning at 9.00 am. Then they went directly to the rooms for isolation, where they remain. It also means that they are not going to train today as planned.
