Two Brazilian state governors tested positive for the new coronavirus, becoming the latest leaders to get the disease as it spreads across the country, Reuters reported.

In a video posted on Twitter, Rio Governor Wilson Witzel said that after not feeling well in recent days, with a fever and sore throat, he requested a test and received a positive result.

Pará Governor Helder Barbalho said he had also tested positive after members of his staff came down with the virus, although he had no symptoms.
