Former Minister of Health Eduardo Pazuello was heard by the CPI of COVID on May 19, 2021. However, his appearance for the deposition did not happen without raising controversies, even without considering the content of his statements. First, the date of the hearing was postponed for almost two weeks because Pazuello claimed to be in quarantine because he had contact with a person who had tested positive for COVID-19. However, before the completion of the 15 days required and recommended by health authorities, Pazuello was caught in several meetings, including with President Jair Bolsonaro, which raised suspicions regarding the veracity of what the former minister claimed to Senators to postpone his testimony at the CPI.
