Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has tested positive for COVID-19
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Attorney Ashley Moody has tested positive for COVID-19, she disclosed Wednesday night on Twitter.
Moody said she already had been vaccinated and is only experiencing mild symptoms.
The attorney general has been part of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' travel parties recently, including a trip to Texas this past weekend to tour that state's border with Mexico. She also met with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on that trip.
Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson and Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen also accompanied DeSantis on that trip.
In her tweet, Moody encouraged Floridians to be "vigilant about their health."
Vaccinations have become somewhat of a political issue, but DeSantis and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell both urged people to get a COVID vaccination to try to slow the spread of the virus and to try to lessen the severity of the illness if they do get sick. DeSantis and Moody also are Republicans. DeSantis has said he will not reinstate COVID restrictions such as mask wearing and social distancing to try to roll back Florida's increasing cases.
