The Hong Kong Disneyland theme park will reopen on Friday (Feb. 19, 2021) after being closed due to a fourth wave of the coronavirus outbreak in the city. All visitors will have to provide their contact details to the operator.
Hong Kong Disneyland was closed twice previously in 2020 due to virus surges. The third reopening move was announced Wednesday and came after the city’s health authorities found only eight new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, allowing government to announce a relaxation of some social distancing measures.
