The staff for the Anime Central (ACen) event announced that this year’s convention will no longer require masks, COVID-19 vaccination, or negative COVID-19 tests.
Anime Central had previously reminded attendees on May 2 that it would require masks and COVID-19 vaccinations or negative tests.
The CDC guidelines require wearing masks for areas where the COVID-19 Community Level is marked as “High.”
Anime Central previously said on Twitter on April 29 that its COVID-19 safety guidelines would “not change prior to the con.”
