Brazil’s President reprimanded for not following COVID-19 Protocols

President Jair Bolsonaro, who ranks Brazil as one of the most Corona Virus-affected countries, has been reprimanded by the court due to his senselessness and arbitrariness. Federal Judge Renato Borelli has ordered the administration to impose fines on a daily basis if the President is seen in public without a mask.

Jair Bolsonaro

Corona cases are constantly increasing in Brazil, but President Jair Bolsonaro is not serious about it. He is organizing rallies, shaking hands with people. On most occasions, they can be seen without a mask. This is the reason that now the court has to come forward to curb this arbitrariness.

Judge Renato Borelli said that if Bolsonaro did not follow the rules, he would be fined 2,000 Reiss (local currency) per day, i.e., around $ 387 dollars. According to a local newspaper, the judge reprimanded the President to implement all the necessary measures to avoid COVID-19 so that he can protect himself and the people around him.

The judge continued, “Even though there is no consensus within the medical-scientific community about the spread of coronavirus by asymptomatic people without symptoms, it is dangerous to go out in public without PPE, masks.” By doing this, the President is putting others as well as others at risk ‘. The judge, citing Brazil’s presidential oath, said that Jair Bolsonaro pledged to uphold the Constitution, protect it, obey the laws, and work for the welfare of the Brazilian people when he took office they should follow the rules.

The number of coronae infects in Brazil has crossed 1.1 million, and more than 50,000 people have died. The main reason for Corona being uncontrolled here is that the President does not take it seriously. Bolsonaro has been taking it lightly since the beginning. He has also openly opposed stringent measures like lockdown.

US President Donald Trump spokesperson said that Trump believes that China is responsible for the spread of the deadly coronavirus worldwide, which has killed more than four and a half million people worldwide. And in America alone, 124,282 people have lost their lives.

White House press secretary Callie McKenney said in a press conference that the President had never felt sad that he put the responsibility of spreading the virus to China all over the world. The President has said that he is standing with the American soldiers whom China is promoting.

At the Tulsa rally last week, Trump used the word ‘Kung Flu’ for this virus, which is being seen as a racist comment. The press secretary was answering questions related to this.
