Disney Parks say bandanas are not masks & Universal cancels HalloweenHorrorNights
With Florida and California both current COVID-19 epicenters, Walt Disney parks has tweaked its mask policy for the second time in a week, and Universal canceled Halloween Horror Nights at its two theme parks for this year.in Orlando and Downtown Disney in Anaheim specify that not all face coverings qualify as masks. Updated guidance says neck gaiters and open-chin triangle bandanas “are not considered appropriate and are prohibited from being worn.” Ties or ear loops are required.
“What we have right now are essentially three New Yorks with these three major states,” White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx told The Washington Post, referring to Florida, California and Texas. Meanwhile, its rules say that face coverings – disposable or not – must be made with at least two layers of breathable material; must fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin; must fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face; and must be secured with ties or ear loops to allow the guest to remain hands-free.
Masks are being increasingly acknowledged as life savers with some reluctant governors and even President Donald Trump himself starting to heed medical experts who say the face coverings are key to containing COVID-19 spread.
