A new medium-risk area was designated in Pudong's Zhuqiao Town on Monday.

A total of 67,715 related people have been screened, and all tested negative.

All visitors at Disneyland received nucleic acid tests on Monday, the COVID-19 prevention and control authority of Pudong said.

A rapid epidemiological investigation was launched to screen risky groups and put them under quarantine in time, while medical staffers reached the park quickly to conduct mass PCR screening, the authority revealed.

Visitors to the park will be allowed to leave after gaining a negative PCR test result and some follow-up anti-COVID-19 measures will be conducted.

People who have been to Disneyland on or after October 27 are required to comply with the epidemiological surveys and receive daily PCR test for three days.

They should enhance self-health management and avoid participating in gathering events. If they show symptoms, such as fever, they should go to the nearest fever clinic promptly with full self-protection, the Pudong authority said.

Ticket holders of Disneyland can visit the park within six months of its reopening, which is yet to be announced. If not, they can request a refund.
