The Republican National Convention inFlorida and Jacksonville, will feature daily coronavirus testing for anyone attending the wedding, which is to be centered on President Donald Trump accepting the Republican nomination with a 15,000-person arena.
Erin Isaac, the spokeswoman for that host committee in the Jacksonville area of the convention, said in a emailed memo on Monday that "everyone attending the convention from the perimeter will probably be tested and temperature checked each day."
When reached by CNN on Monday night, Isaac repeated that attendees can be tested for Covid-19 and not just obtain a easier health screening.
A party official said the GOP will be installing numerous what sort of testing as well as other health protocols will work as the convention gets closer.
The schedule is unclear for the Jacksonville portion of the convention, but if Republicans stick to the itinerary they previously planned, Trump will give his acceptance speech there at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena on August 27, the last day of the convention.
The news comes on the heels of Drug and Food Administration Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn saying on Sunday it's "too early to tell" whether Florida is a safety for that convention next week because of a improvement in Covid-19 cases within the state.
"I think it's to soon to see," Hahn, part of the White House coronoavirus task force, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State with the Union." "We'll ought to find out how this unfolds in Florida and round the country."
Florida, the actual nation's No. 1 hot spot for the virus, set a record on Saturday for the most new coronavirus cases in a single day for any state during the pandemic, with a total of 11,458, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
The state faces potential challenges in handling the outbreak that can arrived at a head through the convention. A CNN investigation on Monday found out that health authorities in the state often are not able to do contact tracing, long considered a vital tool in containing an episode.
The other day, the city of Jacksonville declared it will be requiring visitors to wear goggles in public areas and indoor locations and where social distancing is not possible -- something obama has consistently refused to perform in public places.
Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Ahrens said in the statement that, using the event less than 60 days away, the party "is focused on holding a good convention that fully complies with local health regulations set up at that time."
"We are preparing to offer health precautions including but not limited to temperature checks, available PPE, aggressive sanitizing protocols, and available COVID-19 testing," Ahrens said. "We possess a great working relationship with local leadership in Jacksonville as well as the state of Florida, and we will always coordinate together inside the months ahead."
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has previously pledged which everybody attending the convention will be tested.
"We're planning to test everybody," she said within an interview on Fox News yesterday. "We're likely to have temperature checks, we're going to sanitize."
Isaac declined to answer questions on Monday as to what types or brands of tests would be administered. Alternatively, whether attendees would be separated while waiting for test results.
Lab-based PCR tests may take a few hours to run -- and days to return results due to a surge in demand, even though some rapid tests can deliver results in less than 15 minutes. On Monday, for instance, the main commercial laboratory Quest Diagnostics said results now take an average of 4-6 days for the general population.
The convention will be split between Jacksonville and Charlotte, Nc, within a departure from past conventions, fueled in part by host city coronavirus concerns.
The announcement that this President would accept the nomination in Jacksonville came after having a weeks-long battle between Democratic Vermont Gov. Roy Cooper, whose team ended up trying to keep your convention in Charlotte despite coronavirus fears, and Trump, who refused to allow the caution of physicians stop Republicans from developing a fully attended convention.
It is obligated to hold some portion of the gathering in the North Carolina city, because the party signed a contract to hold the convention in Charlotte. So in a Republican convention unlike any other in modern history, delegates will officially elect their nominee in one location, while the nominee accepts the nomination hundreds of miles away.
