Hong Kong’s Disneyland theme park said that it will reopen on June 18 to a reduced number of visitors, following strict health measures.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced it to close in late January and now to reopen by June.

Only a handful of new coronavirus cases have been reported recently in HongKong, with its total so far standing at 1,110 infections and four deaths.

The majority of the park’s shopping and dining locations will restart operations 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 carried out more frequently and hand sanitisers will be made available for visitors, who will be required to go through temperature screening, wear a face mask and sign a health declaration.

Hong Kong’s Disneyland resort is owned by a joint venture, Hongkong International Theme Parks Ltd, of which the local government owns 53 per cent and Walt Disney Co holds the rest.

While many restrictions related to the COVID-19 have been gradually lifted, Hong Kong’s borders remain almost fully closed and group gatherings are limited to eight people.
