Disneyland Paris Worker Has Tested Positive for Coronavirus
A maintenance worker at Disneyland Paris has tested positive for Coronavirus/COVID-19.
According to BFMTV, Disneyland insisted that the infected person had worked ‘behind the scenes’ and was ‘not in contact’ with visitors to the park.
The park will remain open at this time. Hand sanitizing gel will be available to guests and workers. Guests have been told to keep their distance in the queue for rides, French media said.
According to Le Parisien, three people have been ordered into quarantine so far after apparently coming into contact with the worker.
Disneyland Paris’ Chief Medical Doctors have released a statement in regards to the sanitary measures they are taking to keep the park as clean as possible.
As you may know from the news, COVID-19, commonly known as novel coronavirus 2019, has become a more widespread concern. As part of our commitment to the health and well-being of our cast, guests and the larger community, we are carefully monitoring this evolving situation and are in regular contact with health agencies for information and guidance. Disneyland Paris is welcoming guests as usual and we continue to implement preventive measures in line with the recommendations of health authorities.
Disneyland Paris has high standards of cleanliness, which assists with illness prevention, and we have health and safety protocols in place, such as:
- Training for cast members, with ongoing reinforcement on a regular basis
- Defined cycles for frequent cleaning and disinfection of targeted areas
- Easy access to handwashing facilities and hand sanitizers
- Quick response to spills, trash and other situations
- End of day sanitation procedures for restroom, kitchen, and other facilities
- Frequent cleaning and “wash down” of outdoor locations, including walkways and queues
Additionally, our onsite health teams and leaders are communicating with our cast members about illness prevention, including the health authorities’ recommendations for everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs such as:
- Staying home and wearing a mask when sick (upon medical prescription)
- Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available)
- Following proper respiratory cough etiquette (i.e. cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or tissue, not your hands)
- Avoiding close contact with people who are sick
- Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
- Refraining from shaking hands and hugging or kissing when meeting someone
-Dr. Cyril Warmberg and Dr. Nicolas Duport, Medical Doctors for Disneyland Paris
