Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro has become the latest world leader to test positive for coronavirus.
According to media reports, although Bolsonaro has been tested positive, he is showing no symptoms of the disease, the president's son Eduardo Bolsonaro clarified.
Bolsonaro has undergone a test for the new coronavirus after a top aide contracted the disease following a trip on which both met with Donald Trump, his son had said on Thursday.
Bolsonaro had previously sought to downplay the coronavirus outbreak, saying its severity had been "overstated." The news came after Bolsonaro's communications chief, Fabio Wajngarten, tested positive for COVID-19 after a trip to the United States last weekend during which both men met with the US president at his Florida resort.
Meanwhile, Trump spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement that the US president and Vice President Mike Pence "had almost no interactions with the individual".
