GOP officials are restricting the number of attendees at the upcoming convention amid the COVID-19 pandemic, even as some data from Florida agencies is undercut by testing sources, a Republican familiar with the planning confirmed to The Epoch Times.

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Ronna McDaniel told committee members in a letter obtained by The Epoch Times that attendance for the first three days of the convention in Jacksonville will be limited to regular delegates only.
