trage by repeatedly flouting measures designed to slow the advance of the coronavirus disease that has killed more than 50,000 Brazilians.
The rightwing populist has made a succession of public appearances – at protests, shops, and even a floating barbecue – wearing a mask incorrectly, or not at all. On Monday, a federal judge ruled Bolsonaro was not above the laws of the federal district, which contains Brazil’s capital, and would face a daily fine of 2,000 reais if he continued to break the rules. The use of masks has been compulsory there since late April.
