Brasilia:
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of President Jair Bolsonaro, has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, according to a statement from Flavio’s spokesperson.
Flavio has no symptoms of COVID-19 and is at home, he said, adding that he had started taking chloroquine and azithromycin as part of treatment for the virus.
President Bolsonaro is a big supporter of chloroquine, a drug used to treat malaria, despite the lack of strong evidence for its effectiveness against the disease.
Bolsonaro himself caught the virus earlier, as did his wife Michelle Bolsonaro and his youngest son, Jair Renan.
