(Yicai Global) June 22 -- Universal Studios’ theme park in Beijing will reopen to visitors in phases from June 25, after a near two-month closure due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Universal Beijing Resort announced the news on its Twitter-like Weibo account today, adding that visitors will need to present negative Covid-19 test results taken within 72 hours before entering the resort. Staff will check visitors’ health codes and identity cards, and take their temperatures.

Universal Beijing Resort closed on May 1 due to the resurgence of Covid in the city. The theme park, the largest Universal resort in the world, announced on June 7 that it would reopen on June 15, but scrapped the plan due to a new spike in coronavirus infections in the Chinese capital.
