Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro Infected with Coronavirus

Multiple reports claimed that Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has tested positive for coronavirus days after dining alongside United States President Donald Trump.

Bolsonaro attended an official meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort Saturday. Brazilian President’s communications director, Fábio Wajngarten, was tested positive just days after traveling with Bolsonaro to the meeting.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement Thursday that “exposures from the case are being assessed, which will dictate next steps.” “Both the President and Vice President had almost no interactions with the inpidual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time," Grisham said.

However, Bolsonaro’s son, Eduardo, has denied the reports from several news outlets, and on social media.

He tweeted that his father’s coronavirus test is not yet complete.

It appear that although Bolsonaro’s initial test has come back positive, he is still awaiting the results of a second, definitive test.

It is worth meantioning that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic.

WHO declared Wednesday that the coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 121,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

More cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease Covid-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.

China is trying with all its might to confront the effects resulting from the outbreak of the new coronavirus via a series of strong and effective measures that seek to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by this deadly virus.

It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.

Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough. They can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
