Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the oldest child of president Jair Bolsonaro, has tried positive for the novel coronavirus, as indicated by an announcement by Flavio's representative.

Flavio has no manifestations of COVID-19 and is at home, it stated, including he has begun accepting chloroquine and azithromycin as a major aspect of treatment against the infection.

President Bolsonaro is a major supporter of chloroquine, a medication used to treat intestinal sickness, regardless of the absence of strong proof it neutralizes the infection.

Bolsonaro himself came down with the infection prior, just as his significant other Michelle Bolsonaro and his most youthful child, Jair Renan.
