The Texas Medical Association is encouraging Texans to socially distance, stay home when possible and wear masks to slow the spread of coronavirus.
TMA is one of more than 30 sponsors of the Republican Party convention, according to a list of sponsors on the partys website that was taken down Monday afternoon.
At the Republican Party convention, delegates will decide on the partys leadership, platform, and priorities for the upcoming legislative session.
The timing of the in-person convention and resistance to imposing a mask requirement have raised concerns among public health experts.
Disclosure: Texas Medical Association has been a financial supporter of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that is funded in part by donations from members, foundations and corporate sponsors.
