Confirmation of the President of Brazil's infection with the Corona virus, after mockery and mockery

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro announced Tuesday that he was infected with the emerging coronavirus, which has long underestimated its importance since the outbreak of the epidemic, knowing that it has killed more than 65 people in his country.

 

"I just received the positive result" for the test, Bolsonaro, 65, said in an interview with several television channels, after he felt a high temperature on Monday.

But Bolsonaro said he is in "good health" and has only "minor symptoms" of the disease.

These developments come at a time when the government has been downplaying the severity of the disease, which Bolsnauer described as a “simple flu.” He also urged provincial governors to ease the ban, which he said was hurting the economy. And on Monday, the Brazilian president eased restrictions on wearing a muzzle.

Brazil is one of the countries most affected in the world by the Corona epidemic. By Monday, more than one million and 600 thousand had been monitored, while the number of deaths exceeded 65 thousand cases.

However, Bolsonaro said that the closure is not the solution because its harm is greater than the virus itself, and accused the media of exaggerating the Corona issue and spreading terror among citizens.
