Keeping guests and Cast Members safe
While a lot of the focus of Disney's new strategy when it comes to the theme parks revolves around dollars and cents, there are also going to be several changes to how the parks operate in a world where COVID-19 is still a threat. Right now, essential Cast Members, like security guards and animal caretakers have been told that they are now allowed to wear face masks while carrying out their duties, and we'd imagine that in a world where masks have become increasingly common and culturally acceptable, this practice will continue.
In addition, Bob Iger recently said in an interview with Barron’s, that another change currently being discussed is more scrutiny and restrictions for incoming guests that could come in the form of mandatory temperature checks, similar to what is being done in China.
These temperature checks would likely be done at the front of the theme parks, and be an extra addition to the security bag check area, and guests with temperatures that fall in an acceptable range would be admitted to the parks.
As we've said previously, there is no way to know exactly how long theme parks will be dealing with the effects of Coronavirus, but while this situation is continuing, all travelers should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.

I hope they do not allow security to check one bag at bag check, then with the same unclean hands, touch the items in the persons bag who is next in line. They need a no touch method of checking the bags.
