Thousands of travelers were prevented from leaving Shanghai’s Disney Resort on Monday after the government declared a COVID-19 outbreak in the city and closed the theme park.
Tourists were asked to queue for COVID tests and were told they would have to test negative before they were allowed to leave the park.

The park also closed for two days in November last year with more than 30,000 visitors trapped inside, after the government ordered all to be screened as part of a contact tracing exercise.
