Andre Hehanussa Confirms the News of the Late Yopie Latul Testing Positive for Covid-19, Mentioned Having Performed with Ruth Sahanaya

Kapanlagi.com - Sad news once again comes from the entertainment world in the homeland. Senior musician Yopie Latul is rumored to have passed away today, Wednesday (9/9/2020). It is known that the singer was previously tested positive for Covid-19 before taking his last breath.

The news of Yopie Latul's passing was directly conveyed by his relative, Minggus Tahitoe, who spread the news through a broadcast message to the journalists. Apart from the relative, singer Andre Hehanussa also confirmed the news.

1. Enter the Hospital

According to Andre Hehanussa's account, Yopie was admitted to the hospital because he was declared as an asymptomatic carrier. The test results came out after the deceased participated in a praise event for independence a few weeks ago.

"It is likely that he was traced from Lido, during Mr. Gilbert Lumoindong's event, a praise event for independence," said Andre Hehanussa when contacted by phone on Wednesday afternoon (9/9/2020).

2. On Stage with Ruth Sahanaya

Not stopping there, the singer of the song Kuta Bali also confirmed that Yopie Latul had performed on stage with Ruth Sahanaya. He also suspected that two members of Yopie Latul's band were also affected by Covid-19.

"There's Uncle Yopie, Mama Uthe as well, and the Sound of Curly band. It's possible that two people from the Sound of Curly band also got infected. But because they are still young, their immune system is still strong," he continued.

3. Buried with Covid Protocol

When asked about the funeral procession of Yopie Latul, Andre Hehanussa admitted that he has not received any information. Because if buried with Covid protocol, it is not allowed to be visited by relatives or even family members.

"But this is the Covid protocol, so it will be directly sent to Pondok Rangon. So we are not allowed to come. Maybe if possible, we can go to the funeral home, but we are currently checking which funeral home it is," he concluded.
