Shanghai Disneyland was closed over a single coronavirus case, as Chinese authorities pressed ahead with their zero-infection strategy before the Winter Olympics.

China had reduced most domestic cases to a trickle throughout the pandemic, but a flare-up in recent weeks has tested Beijing's determination to eliminate Covid-19 even as much of the rest of the world opens up, according to AFP. There were 92 new cases reported Monday — the highest since mid-September.

Shanghai Disneyland closed after a woman who visited the park on Saturday tested positive upon returning home to a neighbouring province, state media said.

Disneyland said it would remain shut for at least Monday and Tuesday “to follow the requirement(s) of pandemic prevention and control”. The reopening date was yet to be confirmed, it added.
