As part of the extreme measures that the Chinese government imposes in terms of covid-19 prevention, it made the decision to abruptly close the Disney park in the city of Shanghai, trapping more than 400,000 visitors.
Through an announcement, park customers were informed that they should remain inside the place until they obtain a negative result in the detection tests for the new coronavirus.
To comply with virus restrictions, Disney announced that it would immediately close the main theme park and all surrounding areas, including the shopping area, until further notice. When he gave the statement, it was barely 11:39 am, local time.
In addition, according to CNN, the Shanghai government reported on its official WeChat account that the park prohibited the entry and exit of people and that all visitors inside the enclosure would have to wait for the test results before being able to leave.
In Shanghai, 10 cases of virus transmission were reported for October 30 and in all these cases it was mentioned that they were people who did not present symptoms. It is worth mentioning that it is not the first time that this park has been closed as part of the zero tolerance measures that the Asian country has against covid-19.
For their part, some social network users commented that Disney continued to operate some attractions for visitors who remained in this forced confinement. We hope that they have at least done it for free.
Many may even find it a bit amusing to be locked up in a theme park, but we suppose that it must actually be quite exasperating to feel like a prisoner, no matter how beautiful the place around you is.
