Bolsonaro told supporters gathered outside the Presidential Palace in Brasilia on Monday night that he went to the hospital for tests and that he had had a lung exam that had returned "clean".

CNN Brazil reported Monday that the president said he was showing symptoms consistent with covid-19, including a fever of 38 degrees Celsius. The president's office told CNN Brazil on Tuesday that his temperature was normal.

This is the fourth time that Bolsonaro has been tested for covid-19 in the past four months.
