WASHINGTON (AP) — A second person who was at Mar-a-Lago with President Donald Trump last weekend has tested positive for coronavirus. That’s according to a Republican official who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss private health matters.

The person attended a Trump fundraising at the president’s Florida resort on Sunday.

Trump also spent time last weekend with a Brazilian official who tested positive just days later.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

First reporting was that Bolsonaro tested positive. Later in the day reports said that Bolsonaro himself said he tested negative.
The international press pressed the second story.

About an hour ago a clarin.com report said he says he tested negative, however another test is to be done in a few days and he remains isolated.

"La primera prueba por coronavirus practicada al presidente Jair Bolsonaro dio negativo, según informó el propio mandatario, quien después del anuncio dejó la residencia oficial de La Alvorada, en Brasilia. Más tarde, sin embargo, se informó que el presidente será sometido a un nuevo test en algunos días y permanecerá hasta entonces en aislamiento."
