A total of 12 Indonesian representatives step down from participating in the 2022 Taiwan Open. Then, after a decision from PP PBSI, only three will compete.

Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti in the women's doubles sector and Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin in the men's doubles sector chose to withdraw from the 2022 Taiwan Open.
Both partners are currently sick. Siti Fadia feels pain in her heel since she was in Malaysia, while Leo Carnando still feels pain in his waist.
"We pulled all players from Taiwan, including those who had appeared at the Singapore Open. Because there were players and coaches who were sick," Rionny said.
According to Rionny, the health protocol system in Taiwan is still very strict. Indonesia does not want to take risks.
"In Taiwan, health protocols are still very strict. There is a quarantine, bubble system, and daily antigen tests. If exposed, quarantine must be in hospital. We don't want to take risks," he added.
Rionny also conveyed, the team that had just returned from Singapore would undergo a PCR test and quarantine upon arrival in Indonesia to ensure everything is safe.
