After his diagnosis with the coronavirus last week, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro complained about his “horrible” self-isolation during an interview on Monday, and was then quickly bitten by a large bird in full view of the press corps of his country.
Bolsonaro has been quarantined at Palácio da Alvorada, Brazil’s presidential residence, after his positive results.
“I cannot bear this routine of staying home. It is horrible, ”the president said in a telephone interview with CNN Brazil on Monday. Bolsonaro added that he felt “very good” and said he hoped to return to work tomorrow if he felt better.
The Brazilian media also reported that Bolsonaro was bitten by a large emu bird, called rhea, during a walk outside his residence.
He was feeding a group of animals when the avian bird kissed his outstretched hand. Images shared on Twitter show the leader shaking hands in pain after the incident.
