MIAMI (AP) — South Florida Congressman-elect Carlos Gimenez has tested positive for coronavirus.
His campaign announced Friday that the former Miami-Dade County mayor and his wife, Lourdes, tested positive Thursday for COVID-19 after having mild symptoms.
They said they’re self-isolating at home, in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and advice from medical professionals.
Gimenez served as Miami-Dade mayor from 2011 until this month.
The Republican won his congressional race in the Nov. 3 general election and is set to assume office Jan. 3.
