Positive For COVID-19 And Must Use An Oxygen Hose, Netizens Wish Peppy To Get Well Soon

JAKARTA - Comedian Peppy has been exposed to COVID-19 for a week. Had self-isolated at home, now Peppy is hospitalized and must use oxygen breathing apparatus.

Bopak Castello informed Peppy's condition through a screenshot of the video call uploaded by Bopak on Instagram @bopakcastello_new. In the photo, Peppy is seen wearing an oxygen tube in his nose.

"Hopefully, my friend, God, will take away his illness... so that I can work together again..." wrote Bopak, quoted on Thursday, June 24.

When contacted, Bopak admitted that he did not want to discuss the disease during Peppy's video call. "Yes (video calls) but don't ask about illness," said Bopak Castello.

"We just said 'Be patient, Pep so we can be together again, just focus on health first. The important thing is that the mind has to be free, you have to be happy so that your immune system doesn't get disturbed'. He said 'okay then, hope me to get well soon. Now close," he added.

In the Insta Story @peppy_bendaan07, many netizens gave their prayers and support to Peppy. "Akang Peppy, well, this time Spiderman must have full bed rest. Get well soon, Kang, let's go crazy again," wrote Intan RJ, which Peppy later re-uploaded.
