A NURSE has been suspended after admitting stripping off his PPE to have sex with a Covid-infected patient in a hospital toilet.
The pair are both in independent isolation after the romp at a dedicated coronavirus field hospital in Indonesia came to light.
Details of the shocking incident, which could see both the nurse and the patient prosecuted under Indonesia’s anti-pornography laws, emerged after the patient boasted about the fling on social media.
He uploaded a screenshot of WhatsApp messages between the horny pair, which went viral.
The explicit messages went into detailed discussion in Indonesian about lubricants and the size of the pair’s private parts.
After the post went viral, the man was questioned along with the nurse that he allegedly had sex with.
Both admitted they had met for sex in a toilet at the Wisma Atlet quarantine facility in Jakarta – a former Olympic athlete’s accommodation village that was transformed into a Covid-19 hospital earlier this year.
The patient – who later locked his social media accounts – also posted a picture of the nurse’s PPE strewn across the floor as the pair got steamy.
Lieutenant Colonel Arh Herwin BS, head of information at the Regional Military Command, revealed that both of them had arrested.
“This case has been transferred to the Central Jakarta Police. We have secured the health worker to become a witness and ask for further information. Meanwhile, the patient continues to undergo isolation at the Athlete’s House,” Herwin told local media.
“Due to conditions and health protocol rules, the nurse has been in contact with a Covid-19 patient , so is undergoing isolation for some time.”
Authorities tested the pair for Covid-19 after the confession and the patient was found to still be positive while the nurse tested negative.
Officials have confirmed that they could face criminal prosecution even though the post in itself was not pornographic.
If convicted, the crime carries a sentence of up to 10 years each.
