Hong Kong`s loss-making Disneyland theme park reopened on Thursday to a limited number of local visitors and with enhanced health measures after the coronavirus outbreak forced it to close in late January.

Dozens of visitors were seen queuing to get into the park on Thursday morning, many of them were families with children.

The park says its shopping and dining locations will have reduced capacity and that it will implement social distancing measures in any queues and throughout its facilities.

Before entering, everyone has to get their body temperature checked, as a precautionary measure for coronavirus.

Employees can be seen standing at various points of the theme park with caution boards urging visitors to maintain social distance.

The theme park will also carry out disinfection more frequently and make hand sanitisers available for visitors.

Commuters took the Disneyland MTR (Mass Transit Railway) train link to Hong Kong's Disneyland station, that started operating after nearly five months of closure.
