Jacksonville FL to Order Mask Wearing at GOP Convention

The Jacksonville, Florida, Announcement Requires Indoor-Mask Wearing. Jacksonville is unlike any Other Municipality in the State because the sprawling City encompasses All of Duval County in Northeast Florida.

As the Number of Cases in in the City and State Rise, Jacksonville Mayor, Lenny Curry, his Staff, and Healthcare Experts, have been Discussing a Mask Order.

A Final Turning Point for Curry came after the Decisions by the Coast Guard and Navy, which has Two Facilities in Jacksonville, to Order Indoor Mask Wearing.

“Healthcare experts say it mitigates risk and city hall learned military installations in Jacksonville are mandating it as well,” a Source said of Curry’s Thinking.

Curry, a Former Republican Party of Florida Chairman, has been Ideologically Resistant to Passing Government Mandates. At One point, he considered Shutting Bars in the City, but held off in advance of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) essentially doing that Statewide.

Curry is determined to have the GOP Convention take place Safely in Jacksonville, and those familiar with his thinking say he wants to do what he can to once again Reduce Infection Rates and Rising Hospitalizations.

Jacksonville’s Infection and Hospitalization Rates are well Below those in Miami-Dade County in the Southeast Corner of the State.

Curry took Political Fire for the Republican National Committee (RNC) Decision to move to Jacksonville last week when a Group of Doctors Signed a Letter Opposing the Decision.

Curry’s Approval Ratings took a Hit in a Recent Poll from the University of North Florida, which found Significant Voter Opposition to the Event.

“National nominating conventions are polarizing events, and unsurprisingly the levels of support for Jacksonville hosting the RNC varies dramatically by partisanship,” Michael Binder, Director of the Jacksonville-based University’s Public Opinion Research Lab, said.

The Event will be held starting on August 25th, at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, for Three days of Speeches and Celebrations. There, the Traditional Roll Call of States would be held the following day. Then Speeches by the First Lady, Vice President, and President, would also take place.

It's possible this Rule could Change by the time of the Event.
