According to Governor Kathy Hochul ‘s office, the Big Apple now has 5 cases of the mysterious variant with almost more if not dozens more expected as the convention performs its contact tracing efforts.

‘New York State has confirmed five cases of the omicron variant,’ Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement. ‘Let me be clear: This is not cause for alarm. We knew this variant was coming and we have the tools to stop the spread.’
