Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has accused the media of peddling “too much lies and little information,” after a report claimed the Brazilian leader tested positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus.

After Bolsonaro’s press secretary Fabio Wajngarten tested positive for the virus on Thursday, the Brazilian president entered self-isolation and was tested for the deadly illness himself. With the final results still outstanding, Brazilian newspaper O Dia reported on Friday that preliminary results showed Bolsonaro infected.

As the news spread, Eduardo Bolsonaro accused the media of spreading “too much lies and little information.” The younger Bolsonaro did not outright deny the report, but said that the examinations were not yet completed.

“There are always those people who tell lies in the media and if the story is confirmed they say ‘I told you!’, if not will be just 1 more fake news,” he added.
