Brazil's Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga will remain in the US for a period of isolation, even though the rest of the delegation has returned to Brazil.

"The other members of the delegation have been tested and are negative," said the official Brazilian government press release.

The 55-year-old health minister will remain in the United States for a period of isolation, even though the rest of the delegation has returned to Brazil. Queiroga was with Bolsonaro, who last year survived a bout of the virus, at several events, including a meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday.

Bolsonaro caused a stir on social media after a photograph showed him taking few precautions against contagion while around others in his delegation, as he ate a slice of pizza from a New York street vendor.
