He took the mask at the conference, journalists sue Brazil's president

Brazil's Journalists' Association will sue the president, Jair Bolsonaro, after removing the mask at a media conference

The head of state was confirmed days ago with Ovid 19 and his move could lead to the infection of reporters present. The association says Bolsonaro did not respect the security distance and put journalists' lives at risk.

The country cannot tolerate such conduct that goes beyond irresponsability and is a clear crime against public health”, the Journalists' Association points out.

CNN's reporter in Brazil, Leandro Magalhae, who was present at the conference, has been housebound pending a coronary test.

Meanwhile, President Bolsonaro's health condition is good and he confirmed that he is dealing with the anti-malaria drug recommended by US counterpart Donald Trump.
