The Republican National Convention inFlorida and Jacksonville, will feature daily coronavirus testing for anyone attending the big event, which will be dedicated to President Donald Trump accepting the Republican nomination in a 15,000-person arena.
Erin Isaac, the spokeswoman for that host committee of the Jacksonville part of the convention, said in the emailed memo on Monday that "everyone attending the convention inside the perimeter is going to be tested and temperature checked daily."
When reached by CNN on Monday night, Isaac repeated that attendees can be tested for Covid-19 and not obtain a simpler health screening.
An event official said the GOP is going to be planning numerous how a testing along with other health protocols will act 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.
Good news turns on the heels of Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn saying on Sunday it had become "too early to tell" whether Florida is a safety to the convention later due to a boost in Covid-19 cases in the state.
"I think it's to soon to inform," Hahn, associated with the White House coronoavirus task force, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State from the Union." "We'll have to see how this unfolds in Florida and around the country."
Florida, now the 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 of hawaii faces potential challenges in handling the outbreak that may come to a head throughout the convention. A CNN investigation on Monday found out that health authorities in the state often neglect to do contact tracing, long considered an integral tool in containing an episode.
Last week, the city of Jacksonville said that it could be requiring visitors to wear goggles in public places and indoor locations where social distancing isn't likely -- something obama has consistently refused to complete 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 matches local health regulations in position at the time."
"We want to offer health precautions including and not restricted to temperature checks, available PPE, aggressive sanitizing protocols, and available COVID-19 testing," Ahrens said. "We have a great working relationship with local leadership in Jacksonville as well as the state of Florida, and we'll always coordinate with them within the months ahead."
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has previously pledged that everybody attending the convention would be tested.
"We're likely to test everybody," she said in the interview on Fox News the other day. "We're gonna have temperature checks, we will sanitize."
Isaac declined to answer questions on Monday as to what types or brands of tests would be administered, or 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 key commercial laboratory Quest Diagnostics said results now take an average of 3 to 4 days for the general population.
The convention will be split between Charlotte and Jacksonville, North Carolina, in the departure from past conventions, fueled partly by host city coronavirus concerns.
The announcement that this President would accept the nomination in Jacksonville came following a weeks-long battle between Democratic New york Gov. Roy Cooper, whose team ended up working to maintain the convention in Charlotte despite coronavirus fears, and Trump, who refused permit the caution of nutritionists stop Republicans from using 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.
