Shanghai Disneyland to reopen after 25-day hiatus, despite rising Covid-19 cases and controls in the city

Walt Disney’s Shanghai theme park reopened on Friday after a 25-day hiatus due to a Covid-19 outbreak, even as China’s commercial and financial hub tightens virus controls amid rising infections.

Shanghai Disney Resort announced on Thursday that the US$5.5 billion Disneyland park and the Toy Story Hotel will resume operations, with visitors required to provide evidence of negative nucleic acid tests within the 48 hours before entering the venues.
