California releases reopening guidance for theme parks, outdoor stadiums
California public health officials released COVID-19 reopening guidelines for theme parks and stadiums on Tuesday, and it appears that major theme parks like Disneyland and Six Flags wont be reopening any time soon.
While smaller theme parks, with a capacity of 15,000 people or fewer, will be allowed to resume operations in orange tier counties, larger theme parks wont be able to reopen until the county reaches the yellow tier, Health and Human Services Secretary Mark Ghaly said in a press conference Tuesday.
The guidance states that smaller theme parks may reopen with limited capacity, each 25% or 500, whichever is fewer. Smaller theme parks may only open outdoor attractions, and ticket sales will be limited to visitors from the county where the theme park is located. Face masks will be required at all times, unless a person is eating or drinking, Ghaly said.
Larger theme parks also will be limited to 25% capacity, when they are allowed to reopen, he said.
