Shanghai Disney Resort has partially resumed operations amid reports that the COVID-19 epidemic is waning in China’s largest city.
As of yesterday, the resort’s Wishing Star Park, the World of Disney Store and Blue Sky Boulevard resumed operations at a limited capacity and with reduced hours of operation.
However, as reported by the Xinhua news agency Shanghai Disneyland and Disneytown will remain temporarily closed until further notice.
Each visitor entering the resort will be required to present a green Shanghai health QR code and a negative nucleic acid test report within 72 hours.
Shanghai Disney Resort said it will continue to implement strict pandemic control and prevention requirements, with new additional measures and operational changes following guidelines from local authorities during the initial reopening period.
