(Yicai Global) July 14 -- Hong Kong Disneyland will close its doors again tomorrow after less than a month since its festive reopening as the special administrative region reported a new surge in Covid-19 cases.

The temporary closure is in line with government efforts to curb the spread of the epidemic, the resort said in a statement yesterday. The park resumed operation on June 18 and sold out tickets during the first weekend after a nearly five-month-long pause due to the pandemic.

Hong Kong reported 52 new confirmed Covid-19 cases yesterday, the highest over a single day since March. Some 41 of them were domestically transmitted.

The theme park's hotel will remain open with adjusted levels of service while the resort will help customers with refunds if necessary.
