The Vila Nova Star hospital in Sao Paulo, where Bolsonaro, 66, was transferred, said late on Wednesday that the president would remain hospitalized “initially under conservative management.”
His son Flavio, speaking to radio station Jovem Pan, said Bolsonaro had earlier in the day been moved to an intensive care unit in Brasilia and intubated.
“He ended up being intubated to keep him from breathing in liquid coming from his stomach,” Flavio Bolsonaro said in the interview.

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 13 (Reuters) - Brazil s Rio de Janeiro state plans an auction in December for parts of its water and sanitation utility, known as Cedae, that failed to find a buyer during a previous bidding round in April, the governor said on Tuesday.
In the April auction, Rio successfully privatized three of the four Cedae concessions it put up for sale, with the state raking in some 22.7 billion reais ($4.4 billion).
In the new bidding round, the state will modify the unsold concession, which is less secure and more rural than the other blocks, Governor Claudio Castro told journalists. At least nine municipalities will be added to the concession, which originally included seven municipalities, in part or in whole.
