We shared that Shanghai Disneyland closed down on November 1st and 2nd due to a COVID-19 case. All Guests and Cast Members were tested before leaving the Park. Cast Members and third-party employees completed two Nucleic Acid Tests within 48 hours, and all came back negative. The Park was also swept for the virus and deep cleaned, and they were not able to find any more traces of COVID-19. Reports state that almost 34,000 Guests were tested, and that all of those results came back negative. Guests were then allowed to return to their homes or hotel rooms, there was no mass quarantine. This may seem extreme, but they are very serious about not allowing this virus to take over their country again.

Out of all the Disney Parks, Shanghai Disney was the first to close due to COVID-19. They closed on January 25th, 2020, and remained closed until May 11th, 2020. Here in Central Florida, cases have been down and the positivity rate is 3.0%. Although this is great news that cases have been lower, we are still in a pandemic, so we all need to do our part to protect ourselves and others. Make sure to follow all safety guidelines that Walt Disney World has in place and be kind to all Cast Members.
