Brazil President Bolsonaro reportedly using hydroxychloroquine to treat his coronavirus infection

Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro is reportedly expressing confidence that he’ll swiftly recover from the coronavirus by taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.

Bolsonaro announced earlier this week that he’d contracted the virus. Hydroxychloroquine has had mixed results in treating the virus. 

Brazil has the second-most number of reported virus infections and related deaths worldwide after the United States. The South American country has more than 1.6 million confirmed infections and roughly 66,740 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins coronavirus resource center.
