He has fiercely criticised local leaders’ restrictions on activity and said the economic impact of shutdowns would inflict more hardship than the virus.
Bolsonaro told supporters outside the presidential palace on Monday that he had just visited the hospital and been tested.
He told gatherers: "I can't get very close.
"I came from the hospital. I underwent a lung scan. The lung's clean."
The president's office said in a statement that the president is at his home and is "in good health".
Brazil has suffered one of the world's worst outbreaks with more than 1.6 million confirmed cases and 65,000 deaths according to official data.
