Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro said on Saturday that he has tested negative for coronavirus.

On his official accounts on social media platforms, the Brazilian president announced his recovery from the respiratory disease.

On July 7, Bolsonaro has announced that he contracted COVID-19, before testing positive once again on Wednesday, July 15. 

The Brazilian president downplayed the severity of the virus, calling it a “little flu” even as Brazil’s outbreak became the worst in the world outside the United States, which death toll reaches over 74,000, out of nearly 2 million confirmed cases.

It is worth mentioning that Brazil has recorded around two millions and 280 thousand coronavirus cases.
