Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleVisitors to Shanghai Disneyland were temporarily blocked from leaving as part of virus testing that extended to more than 400,000 people, the city government announces.
The park closed yesterday for testing of staff and visitors, Walt Disney Co. and the government say in separate statements. The city health bureau says guests all tested negative and were allowed to leave by 8:30 p.m.
No details of a possible outbreak were released, but 1.3 million residents of the downtown Yangpu district were ordered Friday to stay at home for virus testing.
