Shanghai Disneyland announced in a statement that it will begin operating at a reduced capacity on Saturday to comply with COVID-19 regulations, another hint of tightening controls across China as it attempts to stop the spread of coronavirus illnesses.
According to the information posted on the amusement park’s official Wechat account, a temporary reduction in staff will affect how several rides, restaurants, and retail establishments run.
It stated that Wishing Star Park, Disneytown, and the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel would all run as usual.
China reported on Saturday that there had been more than 1,000 new COVID cases nationwide for the fifth day in a row, a low number compared to the tens of thousands per day that had put Shanghai on complete lockdown earlier in the year but still enough to warrant additional curbs and restrictions across the nation.
Wednesday saw the closure of Beijing’s Universal Resort theme park after at least one tourist tested positive for the coronavirus.
