The Indonesian Nurses Association has confirmed the suspension of a male nurse after he stripped off his Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to have sex in a toilet with a man infected with COVID-19, according to reports.
“It is true that there has been a suspected incident of a same-sex relationship between a health worker and a COVID-19 patient at the Wisma Atlet Emergency Hospital,” said Asep Gunawan of the National Nurses Association.
The incident in Jakarta came to light when the patient boasted about the escapade on his Twitter account on Friday, according to the UK’s Sun.
He uploaded a screenshot of WhatsApp messages exchanged between himself and the nurse – including details about lubricants and the size of their genitals, the news outlet reported.

The patient also posted an image of the nurse’s PPE lying on the floor as the pair got it on.
“This case has been transferred to the Central Jakarta Police. We have secured the health worker to become a witness and asked for further information,” said Lt. Col. Arh Herwin of the Regional Military Command.
“Meanwhile, the patient continues to undergo isolation at the Athlete’s House,” he added, referring to a former Olympic athletes accommodation village that was transformed into a coronavirus hospital.
The two men were later administered COVID-19 tests. The patient was found to still be positive while the nurse tested negative, officials said.
If convicted, the men face prison sentences of up to 10 years.
