Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro acknowledged that he is experiencing symptoms of SARS-CoV-2, thus his schedule of activities for the week was canceled.
The CNN Brasil television station assured that the far-right president confirmed that he has a fever of 38 degrees Celsius and a blood oxygenation rate of 96 percent.
He announced that he is taking hydroxychloroquine and that he will be tested, the results of which should be ready by noon on Wednesday.
Bolsonaro also informed the station that an MRI of his lungs was done at the Hospital of the Armed Forces, in Brasilia, and this examination did not identify any problems. Bolsonaro handed in documents to the Federal Supreme Court in May, according to which three tests for Covid-19 carried out in March turned out negative.
Bolsonaro turned in the test results after the O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper went to the superior court to obtain the results.
The president is downplaying Covid-19, which he compares to flu or a cold, and resists submitting to the social isolation decreed by the governors of the 27 states to contain the advance of the pandemic.
