Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was pictured Monday outside his official residence, the Alvorada Palace, a week after he announced that he had tested positive for the new coronavirus.

He was filmed at the front entrance to the building, speaking on a mobile phone.

Bolsonaro has said he's using hydroxychloroquine, the unproven malaria drug that he's been promoting as a treatment for COVID-19.

He's one of three leaders in the region to have contracted the virus in recent weeks.
