Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has posted on Facebook that he was "very well" despite having tested positive for the virus.

He announced on Tuesday he had tested positive after developing a high temperature and a cough.

On Facebook, Bolsonaro again advocated the use of the drug hydroxychloroquine - which he and US President Donald Trump have praised in the past despite it being unproven.

Bolsonaro has repeatedly dismissed the seriousness of the virus and opposed lockdowns ordered by regional governors in Brazilian states.
