On Wednesday, Brazil's National Security Advisor Augusto Helano confirmed that he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus, marking 15 Brazilian delegates to the U.S. with positive tests. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who visited with the Brazilian officials, also tested positive.
Helano confirmed the positive test on his Twitter account, where he stated that he doesn't have"any symptoms related to COVID-19," but is taking precaution by self-isolating at home. He tested positive for the novel coronavirus shortly after accompanying Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro during his trip to the U.S. to meet with President Donald Trump.
Each of the 16 infected individuals recently met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Trump, Bolsonaro, Wajngarten and Vice President Mike Pence, were seen in a picture together, posted to Instagram by Wajngarten. The two presidents reportedly also shook hands. Bolsonaro confirmed a negative test result on his Twitter account, while the White House announced on Sunday that Trump had received a negative test result as well.
