TAVERNIER, Fla. (WSVN) — A South Florida congresswoman gave an update on her self-isolation after being potentially exposed to COVID-19.
U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, D-Fla., said on Saturday that she has been in self isolation for the past few days.
Her decision to self-isolate came after she visited a nursing home in Tavernier earlier this week where 21 individuals tested positive for the virus.
Mucarsel-Powell said she was following all the guidelines, but someone brought her to an area which wasn’t safe.
“I was outside wearing a mask, following every guideline, and the director invited me in to the reception area, and I went in and she assured me it was a safe zone,” she said. “I was then notified she should have never done that, which confirms that these nursing homes are not following guidelines, and it’s putting a lot of people at risk.”
Mucarsel-Powell said she has no symptoms, ad she’s waiting for COVID-19 test results.
