Fabio Wajngarten, President Jair Bolsonaro's communications secretary, will have his samples submitted for a second test for final confirmation, Estado reported without saying how it obtained the information.

- Daily Kos: Brazilian Official Positive For Coronavirus After Spending the Weekend With Trump At Maralago, March 12, 2020, https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/3/12/1926803/-Brazilian-official-positive-for-coronavirur-after-spending-the-weekend-with-Trump-at-Mar-A-Lago

As experts were sounding the alarm last weekend about the threat of COVID-19, both in terms of public health and economic health, it was business as usual for Donald Trump. He enjoyed a weekend of golf and high-dollar fundraisers with Republican donors, along with a state dinner for Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's far-right president.

Despite warnings from officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Donald Trump and his team continued shaking hands and ignoring social distancing recommendations. They crowded into Mar-a-Lago ballrooms and Donald Trump was seen repeatedly shaking hands with supporters. He and others may soon come to regret that as the press secretary for President Bolsonaro has tested positive for COVID-19, just five days after hanging out at Mar-a-Lago.

Fabio Wajngarten, the press secretary for Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday, two sources tell @Cnn.

6. Mar-a-Lago is probably the best place for it.

How many of our dignitaries (Trump's crime family) were also attending?

One of the symptoms is weakness. They've had it all their lives.

8. Wonder how many times he's been tested?

And think of all those he contacted with.
