Sao Paulo (CNN) Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro replaced six of his ministers on Monday, in a reshuffle that appears designed to secure greater loyalty as the country's Covid-19 crisis balloons. He will be replaced by Army General Braga Netto, the former Government Minister. Former Attorney General Andre Levi, who refused to sign Bolsonaro's lawsuit to lift three state governors' lockdown orders, also published a letter of resignation. The former Secretary of State, General Luiz Eduardo Ramos, was appointed Government Minister. And the former Foreign Affairs Minister Ernesto Araujo has been replaced by diplomat Carlos Alberto França.
