New cases of Covid-19 rose by over 69,000 across the United States, according to a Reuters tally, setting a record for the third consecutive day as Walt Disney Co stuck to its plans to reopen its flagship theme park in hard-hit Florida.
"If we don't adopt this best practice it could lead to a shutdown of business," the Republican governor told local media, adding it was the last thing he wanted. The Walt Disney Co said the theme parks in Orlando would open today to a limited number of guests who along with employees would be required to wear masks and undergo temperature checks. The park also cancelled parades, firework displays and events that typically draw crowds.
The union representing 750 Walt Disney World performers has filed a grievance against the company, claiming retaliation against members over a union demand that they be tested for Covid-19.Florida remains one of the worst hotspots for the virus in the nation and is among a handful of states where deaths are rising.
Victoria state recorded 216 new cases of the virus in the 24 hours this morning, down from a record 288 cases the previous day but still one of the biggest daily increases of any part of the country since the pandemic arrived.
