Hillary Clinton has tested positive for COVID-19, she tweeted Tuesday. The 74-year-old former secretary of state said that she is experiencing "some mild cold symptoms" but said she is "feeling fine."

"I'm more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness," Clinton added. "Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already!"

Clinton said that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, 75, has tested negative, adding that he will quarantine "until our household is fully in the clear."

Clinton is the latest of several political figures to have recently tested positive for the virus. Last week, former President Barack Obama announced that he had tested positive as well. He said at the time that he was "feeling fine" other than a scratchy throat.

On Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced a positive test. In a statement, Psaki said she had two "socially-distanced" meetings with President Biden one day earlier, but said he is not considered a close contact based on CDC guidelines. Mr. Biden tested negative on Tuesday, Psaki said. This is the press secretary's second bout with COVID-19, having announced a positive test back in October 2021.

COVID-19 cases in the U.S. have fallen sharply over the past two months as the surge caused by the Omicron variant appears to have ebbed. But cases are rising again in the U.K., thanks in part to the Omicron subvariant BA.2.

However, former FDA commissioner and current Pfizer board member Dr. Scott Gottlieb told "Face the Nation" on Sunday that he doesn't expect a "big wave" of new infections in the U.S., even as mask mandates and other restrictions meant to help slow the spread of the virus continue to be dropped throughout the country.

"We have nine cases per 100,000 people per day. Those are levels that we haven't seen since last June," Gottlieb said. "There are about 20,000 people thousand currently hospitalized. And I think we're going to continue to see low levels of infection through the summer. But before we get there, we're probably going to see some tick-up of infection like the Europeans are seeing right now, maybe not as pronounced."

Hillary Clinton has tested positive for COVID-19, she announced Tuesday on Twitter.

The former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said she has mild cold symptoms but is otherwise feeling fine, adding shes grateful for the protection from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has tested negative and has no symptoms, she added.

The diagnosis for Hillary Clinton, 74, is the latest in a flurry of cases among high-profile politicians and other Washington figures.

Her announcement comes just over a week after former President Barack Obama, whom she vied against for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, announced hed tested positive for the virus. He also reported mild symptoms and said this should serve as a reminder to get vaccinated if you havent already, even as cases go down.

Earlier on Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she, too, had tested positive for COVID-19, as had second gentleman Doug Emhoff last week.

New cases and hospitalizations are down across the country after a winter surge in the omicron variant, but the U.S. is expected to soon surpass 1 million deaths from the virus. Only 65% of the population has been fully vaccinated, and a mere 29% have received a booster dose despite urging by public health officials.

Hillary Clinton's attempt to get movie recommendations from Twitter backfired when she was trolled with an array of Benghazi and Jeffrey Epstein references.

Clinton revealed on Twitter that she has tested positive for COVID and is suffering with "mild cold symptoms" but is "feeling fine."

While she's quarantining inside, the former First Lady asked her followers for movie recommendations, but received a mixed bag of genuine suggestions and conservative trolling.

Many Twitter followers brought up movies and documentaries to remind Clinton of the 2012 Benghazi attack and to her alleged links to Epstein.

After asking for movie suggestions while she rides out her bout of COVID-19, thousands of people replied to Clinton with earnest recommendations, including the official Netflix account.

And, many conservatives saw the opportunity to take a shot at the former Democratic Presidential candidate.

Dozens of people replied with the movie poster for the 2016 action film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi starring John Krasinski.

The Michael Bay movie is a biographical war flick following the soldiers of Annex Security Team who fought to defend the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2022.

Users like @Marquisdelaffy1 wrote simply "This is a good one" and @OneGoodMan77 wrote "Here's one for you." @BigSteve207 seemed to get in there first and received almost 1,500 likes for telling Clinton "You should watch "13 Hours"."

Other responses intended to troll Clinton referenced other aspects of her career. Conspiracy theories have previously linked the convicted sex offender Epstein with Bill and Hillary Clinton, with Ted Cruz referencing the rumors on Twitter as recently as last month.

Verified Twitter user @Mcshane_writes and user @wet_dad both left an image of the Netflix documentary series Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich underneath Clinton's recommendation. They both received over 100 likes for their jokes.

Republican author Buzz Patterson also gained attention for his response to Clinton's request for movies.

He told her to watch 2008 documentary Hillary the Movie, and to read the 1997 book, Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam.

Right-wingers and right-leaning political commentators are bringing up the movie 13 Hours as it's based around the 2012 Benghazi attack, in which four Americans died.

As Secretary of State at the time, Clinton was accused of being responsible for the security lapses which led to the attack by a Libyan Islamic militant group.

While Hillary has tested positive for COVID-19, she confirmed that her husband, former President Bill Clinton has tested negative and is currently quarantining until the household is "fully in the clear."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki recommended Netflix shows, tea, and juice to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after they both tested positive for COVID-19.

Clinton tweeted on Tuesday that she had tested positive, and that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had tested negative.

Psaki shared her own COVID-19 test results on Tuesday.

"Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms," Psaki said.

Clinton also credited the vaccines in her announcement: "I'm more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness. Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already!"

Psaki and Clinton both worked in the State Department during the Obama administration at separate times. Psaki joined as its spokesperson in February 2013, around a week after Clinton left to be replaced by John Kerry.
