Masks for both Team Members and guests

Right now, mask-wearing has become a part of every day life, and even after spread of the pandemic slows, many are predicting that mass mask-wearing will continue. And in an effort to help guests and Team Members feel more at ease in the parks, Universal may also be considering either allowing or requiring both guests and Team Members to wear masks while in the theme parks at all times (except while dining of course).

Park capacity changes

Looking more broadly, Universal Orlando Resort may be looking to let in fewer guests in general so that crowded areas of the park won't be as densely packed and guests can spread out in queues, restaurants, and other areas in the park. Reducing the total capacity of the park by 25% or even 50% could help continue social distancing while guests are still concerned about the spread of COVID-19. 

Right now nothing has been decided or announced about the future of Universal Orlando Resort, and technically we don't know when the resort might even reopen. However, it looks like Universal is definitely considering as many options as possible to make guests feel safe when the resort eventually reopens. 

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.
