A week out from @bigbadcon. Here's our COVID report so far:

- 1 person tested positive on Saturday 10/29 (caught on the flight to the con). Quarantined immediately. Used contact tracing to alert attendees.
- 0 cases reported since then.

(1/7) We had a stringent policy at @bigbadcon.

1. KN95 or better masks required in all convention spaces.
2. Proof of vaccination required.
3. Free rapid tests available and regular testing recommended during the con.
4. Incident response plan in place.
