Disney Says Attendance Is Unaffected by Measles Outbreak

Bloomberg is reporting that Disney Parks officials are stating the they have not seen a dip in attendance at the Disneyland Resort due to the measles outbreak.

“Cast members who may have come in contact with those who were positive are being tested for the virus,” Pamela Hymel, chief medical officer for Disney Parks and Resorts, said in a statement. “While awaiting results, they have been put on paid leave until medically cleared.”

Gil Chavez, a deputy director at the state Department of Public Health said that he would not worry about visiting Disneyland if a guest is vaccinated, but would worry if they are not.

“I think it’s safe to go if you are vaccinated,” Chavez said on Wednesday. “But if you are unvaccinated I would worry about it. If you have a minor who cannot be vaccinated, a child under 12 months of age, I would recommend that those children, infants, are not taken to places like this.”
