Walt Disney to check temperatures of visitors at its theme parks, once they reopen
Posted in: Animation
Walt Disney has decided to have its theme park visitors’ temperatures checked after they reopen after Covid-19 restrictions on public gatherings are withdrawn. Disney executive chairman Bob Iger informed this in an interview published yesterday, 7 April.
The House of Mouse is seriously considering the idea to ensure the public feels safe about returning to Disney’s theme parks once lockdowns are lifted.
“We’re discussing that in order to return to some semblance of normal, people will have to feel comfortable that they’re safe. Some of that could come in the form ultimately of a vaccine, but in the absence of that…everybody who visits our parks, just as we now do bag checks for everybody that goes into our parks, at some point we might add a component to take people’s temperatures,” Iger added in that interview.
