Subject: RE: BS: New news on the pandemic COVID-19
China is taking this very seriously -
Shanghai Disneyland is shut down, and 30,000 people are tested, after one COVID case
Shanghai health authorities say they have tested nearly 34,000 people in a single night for COVID-19 at Shanghai's Disneyland.
On Sunday evening, the city suddenly closed Shanghai Disneyland and banned anyone inside from leaving. They also shut down the metro station that services the theme park. The park said they did so to cooperate with a contact tracing investigation after a woman who visited the park Saturday later tested positive for the coronavirus in neighboring Jiangxi province.
Shanghai announced on Monday that all of the guests who had been tested over the weekend came back negative for COVID-19, according to the Associated Press. Authorities said they will have to be tested again, the outlet reported.
Chinese media says an estimated 100,000 people visited the park Saturday and Sunday, all of whom will now need to be tested.
