California Health and Human Services Secretary Mark Ghaly commented on efforts to finalize theme park reopening guidelines with the help of Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, and other industry stakeholders during a news conference on Tuesday, Oct. 6.
“I’m not sure when those conversations will wrap up,” Ghaly said during the press conference. “I will tell you that they will wrap up as soon as we come to really hear the industry and understand some of the concerns. We continue to look at the data and information that we have. So, no promise of a specific date, but I will say as soon as possible.”
And, there seems to be cooperation between the state and the theme parks.

“We’re working closely with a number of direct operators of the parks and also the overall agency or organization representing theme parks as well as the labor partners that represent the workers and ensuring that we move forward together in a low risk and safest way possible,” Ghaly said during the news conference.
Not Just About the Theme Parks
However, Ghaly also said consideration must be given to the neighborhoods and communities surrounding California’s various attractions.
And initial guidelines include operating at 25% capacity and opening doors only to guests living within 120 miles.

Furthermore, the county in which the parks reside must reach CA’s minimal risk threshold.
MacDonald again quoted Ghaly who said, “There’s so many thoughtful people who are working in many of our sectors across California who have been thinking about this with a great deal of passion and energy. Not just so that they can reopen, but also so that they can make sure that staff and patrons alike are in the safest position that they can be.”
