Brazil's health minister resigns over 'incompatibility' with president

Brazilian Health Minister Nelson Teich, who had accepted the job almost a month ago had promised"total alignment" with President Jair Bolsonaro, but differences in approaching the coronavirus pandemic soon emerged.

Teich, a 62-year-old oncologist, joined the far-right president's cabinet on April 17, the day after Bolsonaro sacked his predecessor, Luiz Henrique Mandetta. The final straw for Teich was reportedly a disagreement with Bolsonaro over using chloroquine to treat the virus. The Health Ministry announced Teich's resignation in a brief statement, saying he would hold a press conference later.
