China on Monday shut down the Disneyland amusement park in Shanghai as the city registered a record surge in coronavirus cases, reported Reuters. Shanghai recorded 24 symptomatic new locally-transmitted Covid-19 cases and 734 asymptomatic infections on Sunday, government data showed. It is the fourth consecutive day when Shanghai’s local asymptomatic infections have risen. Shanghai has suspended bus services into the city and made it mandatory for visitors to produce a negative coronavirus test report, according to the Associated Press. However, the city has avoided imposing a shutdown and instead urged its residents to stay home. The city authorities have also shut down schools and are conducting mass testing for the coronavirus disease.
