Don’t expect Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood and Knott’s Berry Farm to open anytime soon, according to California Gov. Gavin Newsom at a press conference Wednesday. He said ther…
He said there is “no hurry in putting out guidelines,” but state officials are continuing to work with amusement parks in California after the pandemic prompted closures in March. He called the process “very complex,” adding, “We don’t anticipate, in the immediate term, any of these larger theme parks opening until we see more stability in terms of the data.
“There’s disagreements in terms of opening a major theme park,” he added. “We’re going to let science and data make that determination. I understand the dialectic, the friction, that many business leaders have that they want to move forward sectorally [sic] to reopen, but we are going to be led by a health-first framework and we’re going to be stubborn about it.
Dr. Clayton Chau, the director of the Orange County Health Care Agency, which operates in the county that is home to Disneyland and California Adventure, has been in conversations with CDC medical officers and Disney over the reopening of the company’s theme parks, per the agency. He advocates that area theme parks reopen once Orange County reaches the more moderate Tier 3, or orange tier, in which there are 1-3.9 daily new cases per 100,000 people and a 2%-4.9% positive coronavirus test rate.
