IN A statement released on January 9, 2022, the US House of Representatives announced Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Covid-19 test results.
The statement was then retweeted on AOC‘s official Twitter account.
Does AOC have Covid-19?
Congresswoman AOC tested positive for Covid-19.
A statement released by her office read: “Representative Ocasio-Cortez has received a positive test result for Covid-19. She is experiencing symptoms and recovering at home.”
Was AOC in Miami, Florida?
The week prior to the announcement of her testing positive, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seen in Florida.
A video circulated social media showing her vacationing maskless in Miami.

She has since received social media backlash, with journalist Brendon Leslie writing on Twitter: “AOC is STILL lounging it up in Florida, in large crowds and maskless. This time at a Drag Queen bar in Miami. Rules for thee but not for me.”
