"I trust hydroxychloroquine, do you?" A few hours after announcing that he was positive for Covid-19, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro filmed himself swallowing a tablet of hydroxychloroquine, a treatment which he always recommended the use.
When the result was announced, many Brazilians castigated the irresponsibility of their president. “Bolsonaro has been very irresponsible when it comes to the pandemic, it still is. I think that if he really got it, it was a bit shocking for him that he downplayed it, ”protested Leonardo Martins, student.
While the president indicated that he would work as much as possible by videoconference to avoid any contact, the WHO wished the president "a prompt and complete recovery".
