COVID travel requirements are still applicable depending on how you’re travelling to Anthrocon and/or into the United States. We highly recommend making arrangements now so minimize any chance of issues while you’re travelling. Please refer to your government’s travel resources, as well as the CDC travel website.
We’ve provided some additional tips and reminders on our Travel page, which could come in handy when you make your way.
