JAKARTA - Deddy Corbuzier admitted that he was critical and almost died due to exposure to the COVID-19 virus which led to a cytokine storm. Through Instagram, Deddy uploaded a new video clip with doctor Gunawan who treated him.

"Essentially, for two weeks I took a break because I had to concentrate on my health. I was sick... Critical, almost died from Cytokine storm, the funny thing is that the situation is negative. Yes it's COVID," said Deddy as quoted from his Instagram account @mastercorbuzier on Sunday, August 22.

In his upload, Deddy said that he did not experience any symptoms of COVID-19. However, he suddenly experienced a cytokine storm that even resulted in his lungs being damaged by up to 60 percent in two days. "Yes, it's a life and death situation. Amazingly, my blood oxygen didn't drop, even at 97-99," he said.

Deddy said, this happened because of the healthy lifestyle he had lived so far. "I was able to survive even with severe lung damage," he said.

"Doctor Gunawan who treated me turned out to have an extraordinary story.. What I heard directly from his patients there.. He spent a lot of personal money on medicines and other costs for many patients.. Because he knows if he doesn't get help.. They die," wrote Deddy in the description column.

Meanwhile, in the short video, it appears that Deddy gave a white car to doctor Gunawan. The doctor looked moved to tears.

At the end of the statement, Deddy Corbuzier satirized people who called celebrities endorse COVID-19. "NOW!! #CLOSETHEDOOR And FAK ppl who said endorse covid, don't go to hospital, etc... U PEOPLE LIKE THAT... KILL OTHER PEOPLE," he wrote.

"People say Endorse COVID-19, don't go to the hospital, etc. People like that kill other people," said Deddy Corbuzier.
