Married At First Sight’s Ivan Sarakula suggests coronavirus is a ‘conspiracy’ – as seven Australians die and more than 1,700 test positive
Married At First Sight’s Ivan Sarakula has suggested the coronavirus pandemic is a conspiracy.
The real estate agent, 30, told Hit105’s Stav, Abby and Matt there was ‘more to the story that we don’t know’ and even said the global health crisis seemed ‘fishy’ to him.
The conversation began when Ivan told the Brisbane radio hosts he was planning to visit his ‘wife’, Aleks Markovic, in Perth.

One of the presenters said that interstate travel would be difficult given the national response to coronavirus, to which Ivan replied: ‘Yeah, this rubbish… yeah, if you buy into it, it’s hard.’
Ivan went on to speculate: ‘I don’t know if it’s a lie, mate, but there’s some pretty crazy stuff going on. In China, I watched some videos last night of spraying the streets and all sorts of jazz.
‘I don’t know, I think there’s more to the story that we don’t know… there’s just something going on that’s just fishy.’

The stunned hosts asked Ivan whether he was still going to work as usual.
‘I’m definitely still working, depending on who’s out there. If they’re coughing and spluttering, I guess you don’t shake anyone’s hand if they’ve got symptoms of the flu anyway,’ he said.
The radio trio reminded Ivan that he shouldn’t be shaking anyone’s hand, given how easily coronavirus can spread.

As of Tuesday morning, there are 1,716 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Australia, including seven deaths.
To limit the spread of COVID-19, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a stage-one lockdown on Monday, enforcing the closure of pubs, clubs, gyms, cinemas and other indoor gathering spots.
However, some businesses have dodged the ban, including real estate agencies.
There has actually been a sharp upturn in business for real estate agents amid the coronavirus pandemic, as people seek to sell their homes and investment properties as the world heads toward recession.
