China continues to take drastic measures within the framework of the ‘Zero-Covid’ strategy implemented in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic. After 10 local cases of Covid-19 were detected in Shanghai on October 29, the Disneyland theme park in the city was quarantined for the second time in the last 1 year.
VISITORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE
While it was reported that visitors in the park could not leave the park without testing negative, everyone who visited the park since October 27 has been asked to take a test three times in three days. It was not disclosed how many people were trapped in the park.
30 thousand people were stranded
It was announced that the theme park and its surroundings were closed at 11.30 am local time in accordance with the Covid-19 regulations. It was stated that after the entrance and exit of the park is prohibited, all visitors inside will be tested and those with negative results will be allowed to leave the park.
In November last year, the theme park was quarantined for two days with more than 30 thousand visitors due to Covid-19.
IPHONE PRODUCTION BASE ALSO QUARANTINED
It was reported that due to the Covid-19 cases detected in the factory, known as the world’s largest iPhone production base in the city of Zhengzhou, China, the facility started closed-circuit production on October 27 and was quarantined. In a statement made yesterday by Foxconn, the owner of the factory, it was stated that necessary arrangements will be made for the safety of all workers who want to stay or leave the facility voluntarily, and the rights of the workers will be protected. It was noted that the quarantine practices at Foxconn’s facility still continue, “closed circuit management” is applied at the facility, and PCR tests are carried out every day to the workers. It was noted that the operation and production in the factory were relatively stable, and it was stated that “a small number” of people were affected by the epidemic, but a clear number was not given.
