BRASILIA - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has again tested positive for the new coronavirus, his office announced on Wednesday , saying he would extend his two-week quarantine and suspend upcoming travel plans.

"President Jair Bolsonaro's health continues to improve, under the treatment of the presidential medical team," his office said in a statement.Bolsonaro, 65, has famously compared the virus to a"little flu" and attacked stay-at-home measures and other guidelines from public-health officials. Since testing positive after developing a fever and fatigue, he has been working by video conference from the presidential residence, the Alvorada Palace - a routine he admitted last week he"can't stand."

On Sunday, Bolsonaro greeted supporters at his residence, separated by a reflecting pool about 2m wide.
