Shanghai Disneyland is set to reopen this week with limited capacity and enhanced health and safety protocols, after a months-long shutdown because of the coronavirus.
The majority of attractions, rides, shows, shopping and dining will resume operations on June 30, according to a statement on the park’s website.
Some experiences including Explorer Canoes, Selfie Spot with Mickey at the Gardens of Imagination and Marvel Universe will remain closed.
Walt Disney Co.’s Shanghai resort and parks were temporarily closed in March after a rise in the number of Covid-19 infections reported in the city. Some operations were reopened earlier this month.
Disney shares gained 2.1% in premarket trading in New York.
China reduced quarantine times for inbound travelers by half, the biggest shift yet in a Covid-19 policy that has left the world’s second-largest economy isolated as it continues to try and eliminate the virus.
Travelers will now only need to spend seven days in a quarantine facility, and then monitor their health at home for a further three days, according to a revised government protocol released Tuesday by China’s National Health Commission.
That’s down from 14 days hotel quarantine in many parts of China currently, and as many as 21 days of isolation in the past.
