Visitors were trapped inside Shanghai’s Disney Resort under a snap Covid lockdown, but were allowed to use the rides as they awaited a negative test in order to leave.
The attraction closed abruptly yesterday after 10 cases of coronavirus were discovered in the city, with all visitors locked in the theme park until they were given the all-clear.
The city government said that those who had visited the park since Thursday must obtain three negative Covid tests over three successive days and “avoid participating in group activities”.
Online videos showed visitors rushing to the gate trying to avoid being stuck in the park, and a large number of people lined up for taking tests.In some unverified videos, visitors were seen shouting “open the gate” at hundreds of guards outside.
It came a day after videos emerged from inside Foxconn, the biggest iPhone maker in Zhengzhou city, showing workers climbing over fences to avoid a similar snap lockdown.
