Prior to the confirmation of COVID cases within the org, Logix shared on Twitter that he had to be taken to the emergency room due to severe respiratory complications and low oxygen levels.

"Thank you all for the well wishes, went back to the ER yesterday because of low oxygen levels and trouble breathing, being monitored closely now, last week has been awful but trying to rest and keep my head up," the Belgian DPS explained.

It is worth mentioning, Logix did not confirm COVID-19 as the reason for being hospitalized.
