Republican National Committee (RNC) officials on Monday were warned by Mecklenburg County, N.C., health officials about a failure by some convention attendees to wear masks or practice social distancing following the roll call vote.
Gibbie Harris, public health director for the county, told local ABC affiliate WSOC that she had contacted RNC officials about her “concern about the lack of mask wearing and social distancing in the room at the RNC Roll Call meeting.”
“I have been assured that they are working hard to address these issues,” she continued in the statement to WSOC, adding that she hoped that the failure of some attendees to follow mask requirements would not lead to a spike in COVID-19 cases in Mecklenburg County.
Through a spokesperson, Gibbie Harris tells me she hopes the RNC's inability to follow the rules does not result in additional COVID cases in our and their communities. She says the inability to follow the plan will make it more difficult to approve similar requests in the future
