Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro re-tested COVID-19, the country’s ministry of communications said Wednesday.
The 65-year-old man is healthy, the ministry told dpa by email.
“Bolsonaro has no fever and his breathing, heartbeat and blood pressure are normal,’’ CNN Brazil reported.
The positive test result was at least the third for the far-right populist president, who for months downplayed the severity of the pandemic and still advocates keeping the economy open.
Bolsonaro is currently working from his residence. Several of his ministers have also been diagnosed with COVID-19.
Brazil recorded 41,008 new coronavirus cases and 1,367 deaths in the last 24-hour count, bringing the total to nearly 2.2 million infections and 81,487 deaths.
The real figures are believed to be far higher due to insufficient testing.
Brazil is the highest affected country through COVID-19, after the United States.
“However, infections no longer seem to expand as before,” the World Health Organization (WHO) said recently.
