Disney is temporarily closing Hong Kong Disneyland again amid rising coronavirus cases in the city.
The announcement came two days after Disney reopened its biggest resort, Walt Disney World in Florida, as coronavirus cases surged in the state.
“As required by the government and health authorities in line with prevention efforts taking place across Hong Kong, Hong Kong Disneyland park will temporarily close from July 15,” a Disney spokeswoman said in a statement.
Hong Kong Disneyland was the second Disney park to reopen, welcoming parkgoers June 18 with limited capacity and increased health and safety measures. It is now the first to shut its gates again due to another wave of coronavirus.
The hotels at the Hong Kong Disneyland resort will remain open with “adjusted levels of services,” according to the spokesperson.
“They have put in place enhanced health and safety measures that reflect the guidance of health and government authorities, such as social distancing measures and increased cleaning and sanitization,” the statement read.
Hong Kong recorded 52 new cases of coronavirus on Monday, including 41 that were locally transmitted, according to health authorities.
