Bolsonaru declared his desire to open the borders of Brazil

He said this at the inauguration of the new Minister of Health of Brazil, Nelson Teich.

“The beginning of the process of opening borders is a risk that I accept, because if the situation worsens, it will be on my conscience, however, what I see is that many people realize that this is necessary,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

In particular, Bolsonar allowed the possibility of opening borders with neighboring countries.

“We need to start opening borders. Why close the border with Paraguay? If this is a land border that we can control ... and the same situation with Uruguay, ”he said.

Earlier, Bolsonaru dismissed the Minister of Health of the country, Luis Enrique Mandetta.

March 28, it became known that the Brazilian government closes the air borders for foreign citizens for 30 days due to the situation with the coronavirus infection COVID-19.
