Brazilian President Tests Positive for COVID-19; Repeatedly Downplayed Dangers of Coronavirus

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has consistently downplayed the dangers of coronavirus, revealed his own positive test result of the virus on national TV today (July 7, 2020), according to the NPR website.

He is just the second major world leader -- after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson -- to confirm he contacted the virus.

With more than 1.6 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, Brazil holds the world's second-largest outbreak, behind only the U.S.

More than 65,000 people in Brazil have died from coronavirus, which again stands only second to the number of deaths in the U.S.
