247 - Internship since dawn this Monday (3) as a result of a intestinal obstruction, Jair Bolsonaro confirmed to CNN Brazil that doctors are indeed evaluating the need for another surgery to resolve the problem.

He said he is "doing well" and is using a nasogastric tube. Only a health problem was able to make Bolsonaro interrupt his vacation on the coast of Santa Catarina. In recent days he has been heavily criticized for not traveling to Bahia to offer solidarity and help to the flood victims.

Results from new tests are awaited to determine, together with the surgeon Antônio Luiz Macedo, who arrives in São Paulo this afternoon, the most appropriate treatment for the case.

Bolsonaro said he started feeling unwell on Sunday (2) after lunch.
