Update to COVID-19 Testing Availability

Posted November 11, 2022

Update: Please see our follow-up post for the latest information on COVID-19 health checks at Kumoricon.

Due to recent and unexpected changes to nearby testing availability, Kumoricon is announcing an update to our official policy on home antigen tests. Previously, these tests were accepted only on a case-by-case basis in unforeseen circumstances. Given recent updates to Curative's hours of operations, we feel it appropriate to provide attendees with clear and reliable testing expectations.

Kumoricon 2022 will accept home antigen tests during hours when Curative's testing site is closed. If using this type of test, please bring your test with you to con and let health check staff know prior to taking the test, as many home antigen tests have a short window within which the result is considered accurate. When returning with a result, you do not need to wait in line a second time. When available, we still strongly recommend nearby testing sites such as Curative for a faster and more accurate experience entering the con.

Thank you for working together with us to make Kumoricon 2022 a fun and healthy experience!
