Bolsonaro Attends First Public Event Since Recovering From Covid-19

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro on Wednesday attended his first public event since recovering from Covid-19, though he declined to speak.

Brazil’s president is typically last to address the crowd in ceremonies at the presidential palace, but Bolsonaro only watched the event then left the room once it ended.

He wore a mask throughout.

The Brazilian leader has consistently downplayed Covid-19’s severity during the pandemic.

On July 7, he told reporters he had tested positive for the disease, then spent more than two weeks confined to the residence while participating in meetings by video call.

On Saturday, he announced he had tested negative and left his home, rode a motorcycle around Brasilia and took photos with some well-wishers.
