California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that new guidelines for Disneyland and other California theme parks to reopen will be announced Tuesday, according to Deadline.
- “We are going to break up the theme parks. Not just one or two brands, it is many different parts of the theme park industry.”
- The state’s Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly will reveal the guidelines Tuesday at noon PT (1 p.m. MT).
- It’s unclear what the guidelines will look like.
- Newsom said he is “stubborn on a health-first data-driven process that is done with our eyes widen open … so we avoid any further increase in transmissions.”

Disneyland has been closed since the pandemic began back in March. Disney planned to open the theme park on July 17 to celebrate the park’ 65th anniversary, as I wrote for Deseret.
- California did not issue guidelines for how theme parks within the state can reopen, causing Disneyland to keep its doors closed.
- Since then, Newsom recently sent state health officials to Disneyland Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood to review policies at work there. He recently sent people down to Disney World, which I wrote about for Deseret.
