Hong Kong Disneyland Resort will reopen on Thursday after being closed for almost five months because of the coronavirus pandemic, the theme park announced on Monday. In a statement, the park on Lantau Island said during the initial reopening phase, all guests, including park ticket holders and members, will be required to book a trip through its website seven or eight days before a visit, reports the South China Morning Post newspaper. Reservations will not be required for children below the age of three, and will be admitted free of charge as usual. Social-distancing measures will be implemented in queues, restaurants, on rides, and at other facilities throughout the park, while character experiences requiring close interaction and close-up photos are to be temporarily suspended. Guests will have to fill out a health declaration form online, and undergo temperature screening upon arrival. Masks must all be worn, except when eating and drink, the park has announced. (IANS)
