Shanghai Disneyland operating with reduced workforce on October 9

Shanghai Disneyland will temporarily operate with a reduced workforce on Sunday as some staff were required to comply with COVID-9 epidemic prevention requirements. 

According to a notice posted on Shanghai Disney Resort's official website on Saturday, the resort will operate with reduced offerings on Sunday, with some experiences including Donald's Halloween Treat Cavalcade as well as select attractions and live entertainment unavailable, while Mickey's Storybook Express will be presented in a scaled back format.

The two resort hotels, Disneytown and Wishing Star Park, will continue to operate as usual.

The notice said that refunds and exchanges will be provided, and the park will resume normal operations as soon staff numbers can be guaranteed. 

The Shanghai Disneyland reopened on June 30 after suspending operations for 101 days during the financial hub's battle against a resurgence of COVID-19. 

Shanghai reported two asymptomatic COVID-19 infections outside its quarantined population on Sunday, the city's health commission said at a press conference.

One case involved a 27-year-old woman living in the city's Changning district, who tested positive after a recent trip outside the city. The other case was a 12-year-old boy in Minhang district, who had a social encounter with a case reported on Oct 7.

All close and secondary contacts of the two cases have been quarantined, and nucleic acid tests are still ongoing.
