During a White House press briefing, press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that a vaccinated adult male infected with the Omicron variant of COVID-19 attended an anime convention in New York City’s Javits Center.

Anime NYC took place two weeks ago, and required both face coverings and at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to attend. While briefing reporters this morning, Psaki told them that a man from Minnesota attended the convention and contracted the Omicron variant there before returning to Minnesota. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, the person was advised to isolate from others, and Minnesota epidemiologists continue to investigate the case in collaboration with New York City and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
