US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a statement from her office.
“Representative Ocasio-Cortez has received a positive test result for COVID-19. She is experiencing symptoms and recovering at home,” it read.
“The Congresswoman received her booster shot this Fall, and encourages everyone to get their booster and follow all CDC guidance.”
Ocasio-Cortez was spotted last week without a face mask while vacationing in Miami. A short clip posted to social media showed the congresswoman waving to bargoers to cheers and applause.
She was seen hugging a drag performer at an outdoor event hosted by actor, Billy Porter.
Ocasio-Cortez has had a history of criticizing Florida for its lax COVID-19 restrictions during the early waves of pandemic.
