Here's a look at the Charlotte ballroom where the #GOPConvention will soon gavel in. The RNC told its delegates to expect to wear a mask in the convention center. The city of Charlotte requires face coverings in all buildings & facilities owned by the city. 
Per poolers in the room, not everyone is wearing masks. Each attendee was told to acquire a negative COVID test before coming to Charlotte & each received a test from community health partners upon arrival in Charlotte. There are about 336 delegates gathered + 60 RNC staffers.
Update: Once the program officially got underway, all delegates put on their masks, from the vantage point of reporters in the room.
Amazing color from pool in the room who noticed a delegate trying to amp up the crowd during recess: “Ok hunny bunnies. We have to shout a little louder, we have to stand a little taller. It looks really flat from the back and this is on national TV, the Democrats are watching!"
