Hong Kong's Disneyland to reopen on Jun 18 after COVID-19 break
15 June, 2020
Hong Kong's Disneyland theme recreation area said on Monday (Jun 15) it will reopen on Jun 18 to a reduced number of visitors and with increased health measures after the COVID-19 outbreak forced it to close in past due January.
The city has reported only a small number of new cases recently, using its total so far standing at 1,110 infections and four deaths.
A lot of the park's shopping and eating locations will restart procedures with "controlled capacity", while social distancing measures will be implemented in queues, restaurants and other facilities. Hotel services will also resume gradually.
Disinfection will be completed more often and hand sanitisers will be produced available for visitors, who will be required to proceed through heat screening and wear a good face mask. A wellbeing declaration will be required as part of the reservation process.
Hong Kong's Disneyland holiday resort is owned by a jv, Hongkong International Theme Parks, of which the local government owns 53 % and Walt Disney Co retains the rest.
Ocean Recreation area, the city's other theme park, reopened about Saturday following lawmakers approved a HK$5.4 billion (US$696.76 million) bailout plan last month to keep it running for another year.
Shanghai's Disneyland re-opened in-may.
While many restrictions related to the coronavirus have been slowly but surely lifted, Hong Kong's borders remain almost completely closed and group gatherings are limited by eight people.
