Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro has tested negative for coronavirus, his son Eduardo told Fox News, contradicting earlier reports that the South American leader had tested positive.

Reports out of Brazil had initially indicated Bolsonaro had tested positive, and his son appeared to confirm this to Fox News earlier Friday, saying further testing was being done to confirm the diagnosis, adding that they expected the second set of testing results later in the day.

However, in a subsequent appearance on "America's Newsroom," Eduardo denied his father had ever tested positive.

Speaking to host Sandra Smith, Eduardo said: “The information I have is the news that just came up telling he is negative for coronavirus. I heard it was positive in the first exam. This is something I don’t know. Everything is good now.”When asked if his father was showing any symptoms, he said he was “okay”, adding: “The test is negative! The first one I don’t know how to tell you.”

The confusion surrounding the results came just days after Bolsonaro met with President  Trump at the U.S. leader's Florida home, Mar-a-Lago.

Bolsonaro had been tested after one of his deputies, who was also in attendance at the Florida resort, was diagnosed with COVID-19.

Fabio Wajngarten, the communications secretary for the 64-year-old Brazilian leader who had traveled to Miami for the meeting as well, showed flu-like symptoms and tested positive for the virus early Wednesday. Read more at FOX Business
