On Monday, reports emerged that Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro had been experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and was awaiting his corona-test results, which were due the next day.
The President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, confirmed that he has tested positive for coronavirus during an interview broadcast to TV Brasil.
Bolsonaro said during the interview that he had started feeling sick on Sunday and has now been taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to cure the disease. The effectiveness of this drug against COVID-19 has however been disputed by scientists.
The news follows reports that the Brazilian president had been experiencing coronavirus symptoms, including a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and a blood oxygen level of 96 percent. According to the Globo’s earlier report, the 65-year-old politician has informed his supporters that he decided to take the test after he experienced body aches and a fever. Bolsonaro also reportedly claimed that his lungs were “clean” following an x-ray test.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of populist Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro ran into Alex Jones at CPAC where he warned of socialism, Bernie Sanders and how the global awakening is happening.
Bolsonaro tested for coronavirus and was awaiting the results on Tuesday, which are now said to have come back positive.
According to the president’s comments as cited by Reuters on 26 June, he has previously tested negative for the disease at least twice, but he suspected a few days ago that he had contracted the virus.
Bolsonaro has been an outspoken critic of lockdown measures, urging state businesses to re-open. At the end of March he reportedly dubbed COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, a “little flu”. He has also repeatedly refused to wear a face mask when in public and has defied social distancing rules. On 4 July, Bolsonaro had a meeting with US Ambassador Todd Chapman, during which the two were photographed without wearing masks.
