Shanghai Disney Shut Down Due To COVID Precautions

BBC reported that Shanghai Disney is the latest famous attraction to close its doors because of China’s zero-policy, thereby keeping its visitors trapped inside.

People have been told that they can’t leave the amusement park without proof of a negative test result. This news comes after 10 locally transmitted cases were reported in Shanghai on Saturday.

Millions of Chinese citizens have been detained numerous times, in improbable places. This is due to the country’s infamous zero-Covid policy.

People have been seen leaving their places of work and businesses in an effort to avoid being stuck inside during the unexpected nature lockdowns.

Not only was the amusement park immediately shut down, but so were nearby businesses and the main shopping district.

Videos posted on social media platform showed visitors running to the park’s gate after hearing the announcement, only to find they were already locked.

Announcement from the Shanghai government

The Shanghai government announced the park’s closure via a post on WeChat. It stated that people cannot enter the park and can only exit with a negative test result.

In addition, visitors who have visited the park since Thursday must submit three negative test results over three consecutive days.

No date has been specified for the park’s reopening. Shanghai Disney stated that tickets will be valid for six months and refunds would be available.

The abrupt closure happens just two days after the park began operating at a reduced capacity under Covid restrictions.

However, Chinese President Xi Jinping indicated earlier this month that there would be no relaxation of the zero-Covid policy.  He aims to eradicate all outbreaks, dubbing it a “people’s war to stop the spread of the virus”.
