Visitors trapped in Shanghai’s Disney resort after lockdown announced

Videos appear to show guests rushing to locked gates as strict Covid restrictions return across China

Visitors to Shanghai's Disney resort were trapped inside for the second time in 12 months after authorities and operators announced a sudden lockdown as part of China's strict pandemic response.

In a repeat of scenes from across Covid-zero China, viral videos on Monday appeared to show guests rushing to the locked gates of the theme park in an attempt to escape the lockdown. It followed extraordinary scenes on the weekend, with a mass escape of employees from a locked-down Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou, to walk up to hundreds of kilometres to their hometowns.
