The Republican National Convention inJacksonville and Florida, will feature daily coronavirus testing for anyone attending the event, that is aimed at President Donald Trump accepting the Republican nomination with a 15,000-person arena.

Erin Isaac, the spokeswoman for the host committee with the Jacksonville area of the convention, said within an emailed memo on Monday that "everyone attending the convention inside perimeter will be tested and temperature checked each day."

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

A celebration official said the GOP will probably be laying out numerous the way the 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.

This news happens 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 for your convention next week because of improvement in Covid-19 cases inside the state.

"I think it's to soon to inform," Hahn, a member of the White House coronoavirus task force, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." "We'll need to find out how this unfolds in Florida and around the country."

Florida, now the nation's No. According to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, 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.

The state faces potential challenges in handling the outbreak that could visit a head during the convention. A CNN investigation on Monday found that health authorities inside the state often are not able to do contact tracing, long considered a key tool in containing an episode.

Yesterday, the city of Jacksonville declared that it might be requiring people to wear face masks in public areas and indoor locations where social distancing isn't feasible -- something the President has consistently refused to do in public.

Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Ahrens said in a statement that, together with the event less than 60 days away, the party "is focused on holding a good convention that fully complies with local health regulations available at the time."

"We are intending to offer health precautions including although 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 and also the state of Florida, and we'll always coordinate together inside the months ahead."

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has previously pledged that everyone attending the convention will be tested.

"We're likely to test everybody," she said within an interview on Fox News the other day. "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, or whether attendees would be separated while waiting for test results.

Some rapid tests can deliver results in less than 15 minutes, but lab-based PCR tests may take a few hours to run -- and days to return results due to a surge in demand. On Monday, for example, the major commercial laboratory Quest Diagnostics said results now take typically 4 to 6 days for that general population.

The convention will be split between Jacksonville and Charlotte, North Carolina, in a departure from past conventions, fueled simply by host city coronavirus concerns.

The announcement the President would accept the nomination in Jacksonville came after a weeks-long battle between Democratic Nc Gov. Roy Cooper, whose team had been trying to maintain your convention in Charlotte despite coronavirus fears, and Trump, who refused permit the caution of dieticians stop Republicans from creating 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.
