A positive PCR test for coronavirus infection was detected in the Brazilian Minister of Health right at a meeting of the UN General Assembly. This happened after he met with British leader Boris Johnson while staying in the same New York hotel with Joe Biden.
Brazil Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga has contracted the coronavirus. He tested positive for covid while attending a UN conference in New York, where he met with British leader Boris Johnson and stayed in the same hotel with US President Joe Biden. The Brazilian presidential administration announced that the head of the Ministry of Health was infected with the coronavirus and would undergo a two-week quarantine in New York.
Keyroga met on Monday with Boris Johnson, they shook hands and were in close proximity, while the British prime minister did not wear a mask. Last year, Boris Johnson was seriously ill with the coronavirus, he was barely saved by doctors, but nothing prevents him from getting infected again.
At the same time, it is not clear whether the head of the Brazilian Ministry of Health was vaccinated. But the president of this country, Jair Bolsonaro, is extremely skeptical about vaccines. Previously, he expressed a negative attitude towards going to meetings at the UN with a certificate of vaccination. The son of Brazilian President Eduardo Bolsonaro also criticized New York Mayor Bill de Blasio after he asked the Brazilian leader not to come to his city because of his position on vaccinations, writes The Daily Mail.
