This is how Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro dined on his first night in New York. In the city, no one is allowed into restaurants without proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Bolsonaro is skeptical about vaccinations and has repeatedly boasted that he is not vaccinated against COVID-19. Before leaving for New York, he stated that his immune system is "strong enough to withstand the coronavirus."

Two cabinet ministers in his delegation posted a photo of Bolsonaro and his aides munching pizza on a New York sidewalk on the evening of September 19.

Supporters appreciated

Bolsonaro's supporters praised the laid-back "simplicity" of their leader. The President enjoyed eating pizza on the street outside the Manhattan hotel where he was staying.

And on September 21, Bolsonaro and his delegation went to a traditional Brazilian restaurant. For the head of state, at the entrance, they fenced off the area with black curtains so that he could have lunch. The manager said that the institution did everything so that the president could dine with them on the day of gausu (this is the name of the inhabitants of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, who raised the uprising in 1835, which is remembered on September 20).

According to the manager of the establishment, Bolsonaro saw fit to sit outside so as not to violate the laws of New York.

New York requirements

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called on world leaders, “including Bolsonaro from Brazil in the first place,” to get vaccinated before attending the UN General Assembly in the city.

Last week, General Assembly President Abdullah Shahid notified 193 member states that the United Nations' parole COVID-19 proof-of-vaccination system will remain in place for presidents, prime ministers and diplomats. They are not required to show proof of immunization.
