Hong Kong Disneyland Park Closes; Hotels Remain Open

Hong Kong Disneyland closed its doors today, after being open for less than a month.

The decision is in line with prevention efforts taking place across Hong Kong by the the government and health authorities, after a recent spike in coronavirus cases in the city.

Hong Kong Disneyland only re-opened on 18 June after being closed in January.

The Hong Kong Disneyland Resort hotels will remain open with adjusted levels of services. They have put in place enhanced health and safety measures that reflect the guidance of health and government authorities, such as social distancing measures and increased cleaning and sanitization.

Hong Kong's Centre for Health Protection said on Monday that it is investigating 52 additional COVID19 cases, of which 11 are imported and 41 locally transmitted. Of the local cases, 21 are related to previous cases, while 20 are those with unknown sources of infection.

“We are seeing more and more unknown local cases without an identifiable source. So it is very possible that there are a lot of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic cases in the community,” said Communicable Disease Branch Head, Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan.

Although the Standard Day Ticket at Hong Kong Disneyland is valid for six months from the purchase date, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort has said that if needed it will assist in the refund for guests who have purchased tickets for admission to Hong Kong Disneyland park or have booked a resort hotel. Magic Access membership validity dates will be extended based on the number of days the park is temporarily closed and, according to the membership tiers.
