The President had often appeared in public. He was sighted shaking hands with the public, at times without wearing a mask. When questioned by the reporters he had said that his history as an athlete will protect him from contracting the virus and even if it did, it would be nothing more than a “little flu.”

On Monday, the President underwent an X-Ray of his lungs which were clean. On Tuesday, his fever had subsided. He even celebrated the US Independence day with the nation’s ambassador to Brazil, and some other ministers. However, none of them wore masks.
