The chief of staff of the President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, Army General Walter Souza Braga Netto, tested positive for COVID-19, his office said Monday, making him the seventh Brazilian minister to contract the disease.
Braga Netto is fine and has no symptoms, the office said in a statement. You will remain isolated until a further medical examination and evaluation is performed, and you will continue to work remotely.
Last week, Bolsonaro's wife and one of his ministers tested positive for COVID-19. Bolsonaro also contracted the disease, but his latest test showed that he was no longer infected.
Bolsonaro told reporters Monday that he was fine and already cured, after the president last week reported that he had "mold" in his lungs and was taking antibiotics. He did not elaborate on his medical condition.
