According to reports, Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro tested positive for the coronavirus a week back.

Bolsonaro said in a telephone interview with CNN Brazil, from his official residence at the Alvorada Palace in Brasilia, “the result of the test, which is scheduled for Tuesday, should be out in a few hours, and I will wait quite anxiously because I can’t stand this routine of staying at home. It’s horrible,”

During his weekly Facebook live session, Bolsonaro revealed that he had started taking one hydroxychloroquine tablet, the drug for treating Malaria, every day.

“I took (hydroxychloroquine) and it worked, and I’m fine, thank God. And let those who criticize it at least offer an alternative,” he said during the Facebook Live.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the President has not been taking the virus seriously, continuously dismissing the safety measures adopted by the governors of Brazil.

Brazil is the second-worst hit country in the world, after the United States. As of Monday, 72,833 people had died out of 1.8 million confirmed cases.
