communications secretary, Fabio Wajngarten, has coronavirus just days after
meeting Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the Guardian’s Dom Phillips, in Rio de
Janeiro, reports.
Confirming
a newspaper report, it said:
The medical
service of the presidency of the Republic adopted and is adopting all the
necessary preventive measures to preserve the health of the president of the
Republic and the entire presidential committee which accompanied him on the
recent trip to the United States, as well as presidential palace staff.

communication of the presidency of the Republic, is carrying the new
coronavirus Covid-19, confirmed in a control test.
Wajngarten
shared photos of himself with Trump and Mike Pence during the trip, as well as
Bolsonaro. The two presidents dined on Saturday at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. In
