Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has Covid-19 symptoms, including a 38 degree fever, according to CNN Brazil.
The controversial right-wing leader, who has been criticised over his handling of the pandemic in Brazil, has said he is taking hydroxychloroquine.
Results from Mr Bolsonaro’s Covid-19 test, administered at the Hospital das Forças Armadas in Brasília, are expected on Tuesday.
Mr Bolsonaro told supporters outside the presidential palace that he had just visited the hospital and been tested for the virus, adding that an exam had shown his lungs “clean”.
CNN Brasil and newspaper Estado de S Paulo reported that he had symptoms of the disease.
Brazil registered 20,229 additional cases of coronavirus over the last 24 hours and 620 new deaths, its health ministry said on Monday.
