"NYC got hit so hard that I think some of us are going to take time adjusting as we feel comfortable," the New York Democrat wrote on her Instagram story. "Personally I'm going to keep wearing my mask in shared indoor public spaces like elevators, subway, grocery store, etc.," she said. Ocasio-Cortez told her followers "if you want to keep wearing your mask then do it." She said she may continue wearing a mask whenever she feels sick. "Mask wearing is also something I'll probably continue doing overall from time to time if I feel like I might be coming down with something and don't want to spread it," she said.
