Jakarta: A nurse at an emergency hospital in Jakarta has been suspended from duty and handed over to police for legal action after having gay sex with a Covid patient in a hospital bathroom, reports said.

The incident, which allegedly occurred earlier this month at the Wisma Atlet Emergency Hospital, came to light after the patient shared details on his Twitter account last Friday, including a photo of the nurse removing his PPE kit and lying on the toilet floor, Indonesian media reported.

The two had made the assignation on WhatsApp and a snapshot of their conversation was also released in the media reports.


The Regional Military Command, which is overseeing operations at the Wisma Atlet Emergency Hospital, immediately probed the matter and the nurse and the patient were identified and questioned, a military spokesman said.

Both the accused also underwent a Covid test and since the nurse tested negative, he was handed over to the police, while the patient is still isolated at the hospital.

The Indonesian National Nurses Association confirmed the incident and said that it believes the nurse in question should face legal action.
