SAO PAULO — Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was tested for COVID-19 after having an X-ray of his lungs on Monday. He didn't say whether he was showing symptoms of the new coronavirus. Brazil's presidency said in a statement the result of the test will be known on Tuesday. Earlier Bolsonaro told supporters outside the presidential residence in capital Brasilia that he is feeling well.
Brazil's Supreme Court published documents in May showing that Bolsonaro tested negative three times in March after meeting with US President Donald Trump in Florida. The Brazilian leader hasn't said whether he took any additional tests for the disease since.
More than 65,000 people have died from COVID-19 in Brazil.
