Shanghai’s Disneyland Resort abruptly closed Monday to comply with China’s strict COVID-19 protocols, leaving visitors stranded inside the theme park.
The resort broke the news at 11:39 a.m. local time Monday, or 11:39 p.m. ET Sunday, that it would immediately shut the main theme park and surrounding areas, including its shopping street, until further notice to comply with virus curbs.
All guests were directed to stay inside the park until they returned a negative test for the virus.
“We will notify guests as soon as we have a confirmed date to resume operations,” the theme park said in a statement Monday.
The Disney park added on its website that was prohibiting people from entering or exiting and that all guests inside the location would need to wait for the results of their tests before they could leave.
