Disney Could Require Temperature Checks Before Guests Enter Theme Parks
Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) executives say they are looking to China for guidance on how to minimize the spread of the coronavirus at their theme parks.
"You can't get on a bus or a subway or a train or enter a high-rise building [in China] ... without having your temperature taken," said Executive Chairman Bob Iger in a recent Barron's interview. Once Disney World and Disneyland reopen to the public, that could become true at Disney theme parks, too.
Iger, who stepped down from his CEO role in late February, explained that Disney's execs are "optimists, although we're also obviously realists, too." So, while the company is looking forward to the day when the novel coronavirus has been mostly defeated and Disney is allowed to reopen its parks to the general public, Disney is also thinking about how to ensure customer safety, and reassure visitors to its parks that it's safe to visit.
