Masks Again Required Indoors At Disney Theme Parks

Orlando’s ABC News affiliate reports:

Face coverings will once again be required indoors and aboard all Resort transportation, regardless of vaccination status, at the Walt Disney World Resort beginning on Friday, July 30.
Guests ages 2 and up will also be required to wear facial coverings in the queues for attractions at the four theme parks. Masks will continue to be optional in common outdoor areas. In May, the Resort relaxed its policy, allowing visitors to remove their masks while outdoors.

CNBC reports:

The policy change comes as Covid cases continue to surge in the U.S. On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reversed course and recommended that fully vaccinated people begin wearing masks indoors again in places with high Covid transmission rates. These hot spots include states like California and Florida.

Disney has updated its safety policies in accordance with local health regulations both domestically and internationally since the pandemic began. Most recently, the company began requiring proof of a Covid vaccination or a negative Covid test prior to entry at its Paris-based theme park based on French guidelines.

Disney World and Disneyland, the two crown jewels of Disney’s parks unit, will again require masks indoors. https://t.co/hMpSnSkEyb
