A second case of the Omicron COVID-19 variant has been detected in the U.S.
The Minnesota Department of Health confirmed the case on Thursday in a resident who had recently traveled to New York City.
It comes a day after health officials in San Francisco, California, confirmed the first U.S. Omicron case on Wednesday.
The variant was initially detected by South African officials last week, and experts are uncertain of its initial origins.
It is believed to be highly infectious and potentially vaccine evasive due to its many mutations.
