NC Gov.: 'Very Unlikely' RNC Can Proceed Without Social Distancing, Masks
"Obviously we're going to put the safety of the attendees and the president and the vice president first and foremost," McDaniel said in May."And if that means people wear masks, we're going to have people wear masks."
The RNC has proposed that convention attendees pass a pre-convention health screen and have their temperature checked before entering the arena. It also proposed having hand sanitizer available and cleaning areas where people gather. While they have threatened to move the RNC, a spokesperson for the committee, Rick Gorka, said last week that Charlotte will still be the host site – either with 19,000 people inside the arena or 100.
The city has already started buying police equipment to prepare for the RNC. The Justice Department is contractually obligated to reimburse the city from a $50 million security grant, but, as a businessman, Trump has a history of unpaid bills, while the Trump campaign has refused to pay police security costs in some cities where it has held rallies.The uncertainty around the convention comes as the city's tourism and hospitality industries are suffering.
