Ocean Park To Limit Visitors, No Reopening Date Set

Ocean Park says it will be implementing a cap on the number of daily visitors when it reopens, but no date has been set for this.

The amusement park has been shut since late January because of the Covid-19 outbreak, but is expected to reopen its doors soon as Hong Kong gradually eases some of its social distancing measures.

Ocean Park chief executive Matthias Li said there's no set date yet for when the park will reopen and management need to take into account how the Covid-19 situation in Hong Kong develops.

Li said that when they do reopen, there will be discounts on ticket prices, and they will only welcome fewer than 18,000 visitors at the beginning.

To ensure that the park stays below the 50 percent capacity, visitors will be required to register online first.

Precautionary measures like temperature checks and mandatory face masks will be in place, while the park facilities will be disinfected every one to two hours.

There will also be restrictions on the number of people who can enter indoor facilities.
