Bolsonaro has symptoms of the disease such as: high fever, cough, headaches and soft body and has been taking the chloroquine medicine since the symptoms were confirmed.

Despite being feverish, around 38 degrees, and feeling a little unwell, the president's general condition is good. The information is from the journalist Claudio Humberto to the program Repórter Bandeirantes,

I started reading the tweets before realizing I wasn't reading Spanish, but Portuguese.

but it seems likely given his many recent exposures, refusal to take precautions, recent tests and hospital visits, and his avoiding questions related to his test results.

For reference, he is 65.

CNN Brasil and newspaper Estado de S.Paulo reported that he had symptoms of the disease, such as a fever. Bolsonaro told supporters outside the presidential palace that he had just visited the hospital and been tested.

“I can’t get very close,” he said in comments recorded by Foco do Brasil, a pro-government YouTube channel. “I came from the hospital. I underwent a lung scan. The lung’s clean.”

Over the weekend, Bolsonaro attended several events and was in close contact with the U.S. ambassador to Brazil during July 4 celebrations.

The U.S. embassy in Brasilia said via Twitter that Todd Chapman, the ambassador, had lunch on July 4 with Bolsonaro, five ministers and Bolsonaro’s son, Eduardo, who is a federal congressman. The ambassador has no symptoms, but will undergo testing and is “taking precautions,” the embassy said.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Monday that he had undergone another test for the novel coronavirus, after local media reported he had symptoms associated with the Covid-19 respiratory disease that it causes, Reuters reports.

Bolsonaro told supporters outside the presidential palace that he had just visited the hospital and been tested for the virus, adding that an exam had shown his lungs “clean.”

CNN Brasil and newspaper Estado de S.Paulo reported that he had symptoms of the disease. The president’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This would have been published at approximately 8pm Monday.

...but I have no idea how accurate their information is. I would expect to be hearing confirmation from CNN or the BBC if it turned out to be true.
