As the coronavirus cases decrease in China, Walt Disney Co on Monday opened Shanghai Disneyland to recover the losses, with precautionary and safety measures, it had to face in the last three months because of the lockdown.
The theme park in China’s most populous city is the first of the entertainment conglomerate’s six main Disney resorts around the world to reopen, but does so under the shadow of the coronavirus.
It welcomed a capped number of visitors who had to pre-book tickets, have their temperatures checked on arrival and show a government QR code designed to prove they are not a health risk.
On a warm and hazy morning, speakers on a recorded loop asked people to wear masks at all times and reminded them to obey social distancing, including in queues and on rides.
Staff held signs instructing “please maintain a proper social distance from other guests” and yellow lines and posters on the ground showed people where to stand when waiting
