Brazil’s President Bolsonaro defies social distancing measures, hugs supporters at streets of capital Brasilia

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro is seen in a neighbourhood Sudoeste, amid the coronavirus disease outbreak, in Brasilia, Brazil, April 10, 2020.

Bolsonaro, 65, a far-right former army captain, says the isolation measures mandated by state governors and his own public health officials are an unnecessary drag on the economy. Bolsonaro's popularity has fallen during the coronavirus crisis, with a growing number of Brazilians angered by his stance toward a disease he calls a "little cold."

At one of the stops, he was greeted by supporters who snapped photos and called his name. However, he was also subjected to criticism, with some Brasilia residents banging pots and pans in anger.
