Brazil’s  President Jair Bolsonaro, who has previously dismissed coronavirus as a little flu, has tested positive for Covid-19, as he was feeling unwell on Sunday. He has been administered anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin.

He was once again tested for Covid-19 with a lung examination on Monday afternoon, the test employed the PCR method considered to be most effective since it traces the genetic material. The test reports were released only after the O’Estado de S. Paulo newspaper petitioned the Court for access under Brazil’s Freedom of Information Act.

He has spent months playing down the severity of coronavirus and often appeared in public shaking hands with supporters and mingling with crowds without a mask.

He has cancelled a planned trip to the Brazilian state of Bahia following his diagnosis.

More than 65,631 people have died with coronavirus in Brazil the world’s second-highest totals so far with over 1.6 million infected.
