Peter Giannikopoulos, who marked his arrival at The Bachelorette bubble on Tuesday night's episode in Palm Springs, shared being quarantined for two weeks as he tested COVID-19 positive yesterday.

Along with sharing a selfie of himself, Peter narrated how he lost consciousness due to anxiety after the results of his test came out, which led to him meeting with an accident.
About Peter Giannikopoulos's accident, the 32-year-old shed some light on how his car went off-road through a guard rail and hit a pole. In his latest Instagram post, Peter wrote, "While driving home from the clinic my anxiety started to get the best of me. As a result of the anxiety, I lost consciousness behind the wheel and my car went off-road through a guard rail and hit a pole". Elaborating more about the same, he added, "The airbag deployed, the driver side door was wedged in, broken glass everywhere, and I was 5ft away from smashing into a building. All I remember was waking up to people shouting for help, as I was in a deep daze and confusion. I didn’t know where I was, how I got there, or what happened. Luckily I came out of it with only a small gash on my nose". However, The Bachelorette contestant is keeping positive about recovering soon as he concluded writing, "Although my symptoms are evident, I am going to fight this and win."
