The general manager of the Disney group announced yesterday that he hopes that could reopen Disneyland theme park ‘by the end of April“, Thanks to the easing of health restrictions imposed by the California authorities after the reduction of Covid-19 cases in the state.
“We hope that the situation will continue to improve and we will be able to reopen our parks to visitors, with limited capacity, by the end of April. “We hope to announce a date for the opening in the coming weeks,” said Bob Chapek, general manager of the entertainment giant.
California announced Friday that Disneyland and other theme parks, which have been closed for a year due to the pandemic, could be reopened on April 1 if the county they belong to is no longer classified as ” purple zone “, the highest level of risk, according to the criteria in this state.
Orange County, where Disneyland is located, is still in the “purple zone”, but it could pass to a lower level (in red) in a few weeks.
The capacity of the parks in the “red zone”, however, will be limited to 15% and only California residents will be able to access it in the first place, based on criteria set by the California authorities.
Bob Chapek, who spoke at the annual Disney shareholders’ meeting, explained that preparations for the reopening of Disneyland were time-consuming and probably would not be completed by April 1.
This would require, inter alia, “To return to work more than 100,000 suspended employees” from the beginning of the pandemic and “be trained to work in compliance with the new requirements in the state of California,” he explained.
