The Minnesota Department of Health reported Thursday it has found the omicron variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 in a resident of the state who had recently traveled to New York City.

The announcement comes a day after San Francisco public health officials reported they had identified the first U.S. case of the omicron variant in a traveler who recently returned from South Africa, where the variant’s rapid spread has alarmed health officials around the world.
