Anderson Torres, Brazil’s 46-year-old Justice minister, on Tuesday announced on Twitter that he has contracted the coronavirus, but added that he is not showing any symptoms.
Mr. Torres participated in a cabinet meeting with other ministers and President Jair Bolsonaro in the morning. The government discussed ways to continue to use communication outlets to improve its image without breaking electoral laws that forbid campaigning messages before August 16.
The Justice minister was expected to attend a luncheon with the pro-business caucus in the House, but canceled his participation.
