Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro has tested positive for coronavirus.
He took the test, his fourth, on Monday after developing symptoms, including a high temperature.
Mr
Bolsonaro has repeatedly played down the risks posed by the virus,
calling it "a little flu" and saying that he would not be seriously
affected by it.
He has also urged regional governors to ease
lockdowns, which he says hurt the economy, and on Monday he watered down
regulations on wearing face masks.
Mr Bolsonaro made the
announcement in a TV interview on Tuesday. He said the fever he had been
experiencing had gone down and that he felt "very well".
Back
in April, he said that even if he were to be infected with the virus,
he would "not have to worry as I wouldn't feel anything, at most it
would be like a little flu or a little cold".
When he made
the remark, the number of Covid-19-related deaths was still under 3,000
and the number of infections was around 40,000.
But the numbers
have skyrocketed since then. As of Monday, the number of deaths was over
65,000 and infections were over 1.6m, second only to the United States.
Despite
the rising numbers, President Bolsonaro has argued that regional
lockdowns are having a more damaging effect than the virus itself, and
accused the media of spreading panic and paranoia.
Jair Bolsonaro on coronavirus:
"From
what I have seen until now, there are other kinds of flu which have
killed more people than that [coronavirus] one" (11 March)
"Today
we have information, that because we have a more tropical climate [in
Brazil] we've almost reached the end [of the pandemic], or it's already
over (...) the virus doesn't spread as fast in warm climates like ours"
(18 March)
"After being stabbed, I'm not going to be brought down by a little flu" (20 March)
