Anime NYC attendee tests positive for Omicron variant

The Minnesota Department of Health has confirmed that a man who attended the Anime NYC convention two weekends ago is now the second person in the United States with a confirmed case of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

An estimated 53,000 con-goers filled the Javits Center in Manhattan over the Nov. 19-21 weekend in the first major anime convention since the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020. Vaccinations or negative tests were required to enter the convention center, and wearing masks was mandated while inside.
