Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro cleared his public agenda for Tuesday morning as he awaited the result of a coronavirus test, with his office saying the far-right leader who has dismissed the virus as a 'little flu' was in good health.

SAO PAULO - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro cleared his public agenda for Tuesday morning as he awaited the result of a coronavirus test, with his office saying the far-right leader who has dismissed the virus as a “little flu” was in good health.

Bolsonaro took the test on Monday evening, according to a statement from the presidency, which added the result would come back Tuesday. Local media had reported that he had symptoms of the coronavirus, such as a fever. The populist leader has repeatedly defied local guidelines to wear a mask in public, even after a judge ordered him to do so in late June. Bolsonaro has also railed against social distancing rules supported by the World Health Organization.

Over the weekend, Bolsonaro attended several events and was in close contact with the U.S. ambassador to Brazil during July 4 celebrations. Pictures of the event showed neither wearing a mask.

Positive ya Allah!

Great news... he got it....

This is awesome news!

it's a public health imperative that's he positive

You can only hope

Results are in, and I’m Positive he’s a danger to his country far larger than this Pandemic. 👍😁

Thoughts and prayers

Hopefully a 99% chance he totally has it, and a 1% chance he survives. That should wipe the tears of the Amazon for a while.

Tots and heirs - little children who have no recourse for their parents' stupidity deserve our sympathy, not Bolsonaro. He made his bed, now let him die in it.

O top dos idiotas

Be brave, Covid

O have a very positive feeling that his test results positive.

forcacorona 😌🙏

I'm from Brazil and I really don't wish that he dies or stuff like that. Like I read earlier, in this times of uncertanty, my only wish is that his sons take good care of him, staying with him and hugging him all the time

I’ve been hearing a little Clorox will clear his Corona right up.

Finally, The President himself. I don't wish him any bad luck but I want him to learn something and survive.
