Brazilian Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello, who is ill with Covid-19, will stay in a military hospital overnight on Sunday, after having been discharged from a civilian facility earlier in the day, Reuters quoted the ministry as saying in a statement.

Pazuello, an active duty Army general, will stay in the military hospital as “a precautionary measure,” the ministry said.

“Pazuello is well and stable and should stay resting until tomorrow,” the statement said.

The minister tested positive for coronavirus on Oct. 21. He checked into a hospital on Friday, suffering from dehydration, the ministry said earlier.

Roughly half of right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro's 23-member cabinet has gotten the coronavirus, with the president and his wife coming down with the disease in July.
