Shanghai Disney Resort announced on Monday it would reopen a selected range of shopping, dining and recreational options in Disneytown, Wishing Star Park and Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, while the Disneyland park will remain closed.

The partial resumption marked "the first step of a phased reopening" since the resort temporarily closed in Jan 25 to prevent the further spread of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
