Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said yesterday he had tested positive for coronavirus, adding in a television interview that he was in good health despite running a fever.
The right-wing populist, who has played down the severity of the virus which he has called a „little flu“, took the test on Monday after developing symptoms.
In the interview broadcast on state-run TV Brasil, Mr Bolsonaro said he began feeling ill on Sunday and had been taking hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug with unproven effectiveness against Covid-19.
Brazil has the world’s second-largest outbreak behind the United States.
