What has Bolsonaro said about Covid?
The president has been highly sceptical about the need to take decisive action to tackle the pandemic:
he has called Covid "just a little flu"
rejected a nationwide lockdown, saying such measures only made the poor poorer
called state governors and mayors who imposed lockdown "tyrants"
cast doubts on the efficacy and safety of jabs and said he wouldn't get vaccinated
joked the Pfizer jab may "turn people into crocodiles"
dismissed opportunities to purchase millions of vaccine doses
told people to "stop whining" about the situation
In addition to showing proof of a World Health Organization-approved vaccine, visitors will be expected to provide a medical certificate with a laboratory result indicating that COVID-19 is not detected,
