Coronavirus cases rise in the US as the outbreak worsens in Europe

Some shopping and dining attractions at Shanghai’s Disney Resort are resuming operations today “as the first step of a phased reopening,” the company said in a press release — although the park itself, Shanghai Disneyland, remains closed until further notice.

A limited number of shopping, dining and recreational outlets at Disneytown, Wishing Star Park and Shanghai Disneyland Hotel will operate under limited capacity and reduced hours.

Guests entering the facilities will have to undergo temperature screenings, wear a face mask, and present a Health QR Code when entering dining venues. Guests are also being asked to “maintain respectful social distances” while in the facilities.

Shanghai Disneyland has been shut since January 25.

Other Asian Disneylands are also closed: Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea closed from late last month until March 15, after the Japanese government requested cancelations of big gatherings and events, in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Hong Kong Disneyland, which welcomed 6.7 million guests in the 2018 fiscal year, also announced its temporary closure on January 26. The park said its affiliated resort hotels would remain open.
