The grandmother of Brazil's first lady has died after more than a month fighting Covid-19 in a public hospital on the outskirts of Brasilia.
Maria Aparecida Firmo Ferreira, 80, was the grandmother of Michelle Bolsonaro, who is married to Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro. She had been hospitalised since July 1, having tested positive for the coronavirus.
President Bolsonaro and Michelle Bolsonaro were diagnosed with Covid-19 last month. The president, who has recovered, has consistently downplayed the severity of the virus.
