A post on Brazilian
President Jair Bolsonaro, Facebook page on Friday debunked earlier media
reports that a first test had been positive.
US President Donald Trump
can heave a sigh of some relief after Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who
recently had dinner with him, tested negative for coronavirus.
Bolsonaro and a large
Brazilian entourage, including cabinet ministers, met with Trump and other
senior U.S. officials last weekend at Mar-a-Lago. One of the party.
Bolsonaro’s communications
secretary Fabio Wajngarten, tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday and is in
quarantine.
The entire delegation,
including Bolsonaro, was subsequently tested. It is not yet known if the
results of any of the others have come back positive.
“He tested negative full
stop,” Bolsonaro’s son Eduardo told Fox News.
Fox News had previously
reported that an initial test had come back positive. Eduardo did not directly
answer a question from Fox News as to whether that was the case.
Trump said on Thursday he
was “not concerned” about having come into contact with Wajngarten.
CNN later reported he was
worried, citing a source close to the U.S. president.
