Mask still required at New York Comic Con, even with cosplay
https://pix11.com/news/mask-still-required-at-new-york-comic-con-even-with-cosplay/NEW YORK (PIX11) — Face masks on public transportation in New York City will now be optional, however, New York Comic Con will continue to force a mask mandate at this year’s event.
Even those eventgoers that dress up in full cosplay will be required to wear a mask under their helmet or costume’s mask. Those with helmets or masks that go with their outfit will need to remove the helmet or mask before entering the Javits Center to confirm they are wearing a mask. After that, the cosplayer can put their headgear back on as long as they still wear a mask under it.
Celebrity photos are one of the highlights for many who attend Comic Con, and those planning to see their favorite celebrity will be allowed to take their mask off for the picture. The event also said they would not use plexiglass unless the talent requests it. However, a mask will still be required while waiting in lines.
