247 - Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP) published fake news on his social media by using an old video to criticize the governor of São Paulo and enemy of the Bolsonaro clan, João Doria (PSDB).

In the recording, the mayor of São Paulo, Bruno Covas (PSDB), states that the use of the drug chloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19 was authorized in the protocol of the Municipal Health Department and in municipal hospitals that treat patients with the disease.

In the post, he demands that the state governor do the same, but this has already been done since May 5th," clarifies the source. Check it out who classified the post as "misleading".

On Twitter, the post already appears with the warning "manipulated media".
