Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro has been infected with the “Corona” virus. The COVID-19 test result was positive, reports AP.
Bolsonaro confirmed the test results. “I am well. I even want to take a walk here, but I cannot because of the doctors’ advice,” said Bolsonaro, who was wearing a mask.
The president has often appeared in public without a mask, has shaken supporters’ hands and spoken with crowds. He had declared that the fact that he was an athlete in the past protects him from the virus, and that if he were infected, it would have the effect of a “mild flu” on him.
He has also repeatedly said that there is no way to prevent the infection of 70% of the population, and that the restrictive measures of local authorities would ultimately lead to greater difficulties.
