Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro tested positive for Covid-19. The 64-year far-right politician appeared on Thursday on a Facebook live wearing a mask on his face.
His initial test was carried out after the arrival of the Brazilian delegation from the United States.
Bolsonaro was in contact with his communication secretary, Fabio Wajngarten, who also tested positive for the disease. This top official was also in contact with President Donald Trump.
Between late afternoon and early Wednesday evening, the group started receiving calls from the Presidency’s office asking that in case of any symptoms, make the statement immediately and look for a military hospital in Brasilia to do the tests.
The former capitan Bolsonaro turns 65 on March 21st.
