ORLANDO, Fla. — Happening this week, the Conservative Political Action Committee, better known as CPAC, is holding an event in Orlando to gather support for the Republican Party.

Among the speakers, former President Donald Trump.

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said everyone is expected to wear a mask and follow the county mandate at the event at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on International Drive in Orlando.

He has talked to hotel leadership about their plans to keep everyone safe.

The event runs from Thursday to Sunday, with speakers including Gov. Ron DeSantis, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott and Trump, who is set to speak Sunday. This will be his first Post-White House event.

The event was forced to move from its usual spot in Maryland because big events there remain banned during the pandemic. Florida is one of the few places open enough for large events like this.

Demings said if the county receives complaints, the strike teams will be dispatched to the hotel for a check-up.

"This is not the time for individuals to not wear face coverings. We've done a good job in this community to keep the positivity rate low," he said.

The mayor said if there is non-compliance, the blame will fall primarily on the hotel.

Hyatt issued a statement Tuesday indicating it will be in compliance with COVID rules.

"At Hyatt, the safety and wellbeing of our guests and colleagues is always a top priority," the statement said. "Hyatt Regency Orlando remains focused on enhancing and enforcing health, safety and security protocols ahead of and during the CPAC 2021 event, and all other events that follow.

"All Hyatt hotels, including Hyatt Regency Orlando, continue to follow COVID-19 local mandates and ordinances, as well as Hyatt policies as part of our Global Care and Cleanliness Commitment. All Hyatt hotels work to inform guests of important local travel guidelines before they arrive and when they check in. All guests attending CPAC are asked to sign a Code of Conduct, developed by CPAC organizers, which includes specifics on Hyatt’s face coverings policy and Orange County, Florida’s face coverings mandate. In addition, the Orange County Fire Marshall has reviewed and approved applicable seating plans from a safety and security perspective."

CPAC said it plans to do its part as well. Guests will be sent a health questionnaire to complete online beforehand and must show that confirmation when receiving credentials, it said. Temperatures will be checked too, CPAC officials said.

Regarding CPAC's plans to meet in Orlando, Demings said, "The fact that we have the conference coming to town is not a bad thing because it will produce an economic return for the residents, the people who work here, who live here, as a result of the conference. We just want them to do so safely." Demings said.

There could be fines associated, just like with bars and nightclubs that have not followed social distancing and mask rules.

The strike teams are still finding about 99% compliance across the county businesses.
