The Republican National Convention inFlorida and Jacksonville, will feature daily coronavirus testing for the people attending the wedding, that is dedicated to President Donald Trump accepting the Republican nomination in a 15,000-person arena.

Erin Isaac, the spokeswoman for that host committee with the Jacksonville element of the convention, said in the emailed memo on Monday that "everyone attending the convention within the perimeter is going to be tested and temperature checked on a daily basis."

When reached by CNN on Monday night, Isaac repeated that attendees would be tested for Covid-19 and not simply receive a more simple health screening.

An event official said the GOP is going to be installation of a lot of how a testing along with 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 happens the heels of Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn saying on Sunday that it was "too early to tell" whether Florida will be a rut for that convention later due to a boost in Covid-19 cases in the state.

"I think it's too early to inform," Hahn, associated with the White House coronoavirus task force, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State in the Union." "We'll ought to observe how this unfolds in Florida and around 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 of hawaii faces potential challenges in handling the outbreak which could arrive at a head during the convention. A CNN investigation on Monday found that health authorities inside the state often fail to do contact tracing, long considered an important tool in containing an outbreak.

The other day, the town of jacksonville declared that it will be requiring people to wear face masks in public areas and indoor locations and where social distancing isn't likely -- something obama has consistently refused to perform in public.

Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Ahrens said in a statement that, using the event rather less than 60 days away, the party "is committed to holding a safe convention that fully complies with local health regulations in position during the time."

"We are preparing to offer health precautions including although not limited to temperature checks, available PPE, aggressive sanitizing protocols, and available COVID-19 testing," Ahrens said. "We use a great working relationship with local leadership in Jacksonville and the state of Florida, and we will continue to coordinate with them from the months ahead."

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has previously pledged which everybody attending the convention would be tested.

"We're going to test everybody," she said in the interview on Fox News a week ago. "We're gonna have temperature checks, we are going to 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 example, the main commercial laboratory Quest Diagnostics said results now take around 4-6 days for the general population.

The convention will be split between Jacksonville and Charlotte, Nc, within a departure from past conventions, fueled partly by host city coronavirus concerns.

The announcement that the President would accept the nomination in Jacksonville came after having a weeks-long battle between Democratic Vermont Gov. Roy Cooper, whose team was trying to maintain the convention in Charlotte despite coronavirus fears, and Trump, who refused to allow 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.
