Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro says he has tested positive for COVID-19 after months of downplaying the virus' severity.
Bolsonaro confirmed the test results while wearing a mask and speaking to reporters in the capital of Brasilia.
``I'm well, normal. I even want to take a walk around here, but I can't due to medical recommendation,'' Bolsonaro said.
After months of downplaying the virus' severity, Brazil's president says he has tested positive for COVID-19.
