Interesting news coming out of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the study of COVID-19 continues. It is being reported that the CDC is considering changing the physical distancing guidelines from 6 feet to 3 feet which would be a big game changer regarding capacity at Walt Disney World if physical distancing guidelines are changed. The report from the CDC is coming from recent studies within Massachusetts public schools.
As reported by CNN: “The official pointed to a study published last week that showed “no significant difference” in rates of Covid-19 at Massachusetts public schools that had implemented social distancing rules of more than 3 feet apart compared to those with rules to stay more than 6 feet apart.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked about the study stating: “The CDC is very well aware that data are accumulating making it look more like 3 feet are okay, under certain circumstances. They’re analyzing that and I can assure you within a reasonable period of time – quite reasonable – they will be giving guidelines according to the data that they have. It won’t be very long,” Fauci said.
Disney CEO, Bob Chapek, recently spoke on park capacity announcing that it will remain at 35% and rise depending on the COVID-19 vaccination rate. With vaccinations on the rise and talks of possible physical distancing guideline changes, we wouldn’t be surprise to see an influx in park capacity in the near future. In the meantime, we’ll keep you posted as we learn more about what the CDC decides.
