A court has ordered the hospital where Bolsonaro was tested to release a list of those infected with the coronavirus.
At least 22 people from Jair Bolsonaro's delegation who traveled to the US have the virus. Bolsonaro claims that two tests have already come back negative, but refuses to present the results.
247 - Judge Raquel Soares Chiarelli, of the 4th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District, granted a request from the government of the Federal District and ordered the Armed Forces Hospital to provide the Health Department of the Federal District with the names of all people who were diagnosed with the new coronavirus by employees of the facility.
At least 22 people from Jair Bolsonaro's delegation who traveled to the US have the virus. Bolsonaro claims that two tests have already come back negative, but refuses to present the results.
