Critics slammed Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro after he called on supporters to film videos inside their local hospitals to prove they have not been overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic, AFP reported.

The far-right leader urged his backers to “find a way to get inside and film” to see whether intensive care units are in fact struggling, as state and local health authorities have reported in areas hit hard by Covid-19.

“The president is recklessly putting lives at risk when he asks his supporters to invade hospitals,” said left-wing lawmaker Paulo Fernando dos Santos.

Bolsonaro should instead “just read the bulletins published by state authorities with the hospital occupancy rates,” the governor of Maranhao state, Flavio Dino, wrote on Twitter.
