The President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, said today that he is infected with the new coronavirus, the day after reporting symptoms and performing a test at a Military hospital in Brazil.

In a communication via Facebook, Bolsonaro confirmed the positive result of the test and added that he had an x-ray and that his lung “was clean”. The President had already informed supporters that he had a fever and body aches and therefore decided to take the exam.

Brazil is most affected by the pandemic and one of the hardest hit in the world, when counting the second number of infected and dead (more than 1.62 million cases and 65,487 deaths), after the United States.

The Covid-19 pandemic has already caused more than 538,000 deaths and infected more than 11.64 million people in 196 countries and territories.

The disease is spread by a new coronavirus detected in late December in Wuhan, a city in central China. After Europe succeeded China as the center of the pandemic in February, the American continent is now the one with the most confirmed cases and the most deaths.
