Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tested negative for coronavirus, according to a post on his Facebook page on Friday.

Bolsonaro had been tested after his communications secretary, Fabio Wajngarten, was diagnosed with coronavirus on Thursday following a trip to Florida where both met with US President Donald Trump.

"The test is negative," his son Eduardo Bolsonaro told Fox News Channel in an interview on Friday, following media reports that his father had tested positive.
