Logo of Metropolitan Transportation AuthorityNEW YORK — The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s New York City Transit has reduced subway service this week as staffing feels the effect of the COVID-19 Omicron variant.

In a series of Twitter messages on Sunday, NYC Transit said subway trains would run less frequently Monday through Thursday, as the system reallocates train crews where they are needed most and implements revised quarantine guidelines for essential workers.

Riders are advised to check the MTA website or app for up-to-date service information.
