A sign of a return, slowly, to normalcy in China?
Shanghai Disney Resort Set to Partially Reopen Monday
https://variety.com/2020/biz/news/shanghai-disney-resort-disneyland-reopen-china-coronavirus-1203527299/amp/ The Shanghai Disney Resort said it will reopen some of the shopping, dining and entertainment options on Monday, though the main theme park will remain closed to prevent further spread of the coronavirus.
The move is the first step of a phased reopening, it said in a statement posted Monday to its website. The resort has been closed since January 25.
Certain facilities at Disneytown, Wishing Star Park, and the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel will operate with limited capacity and at reduced hours, and parking lots will reopen, the resort said. The Disneyland theme park itself will stay shut as the park continue[s] to closely monitor health and safety conditions.
Visitors will be required to wear masks during their entire time within the Disney Resort area, submit to temperature screenings upon arrival, and present their Health QR code when entering dining areas.

Scotland on Sunday has learned that an official European Union agency has issued a series of far-reaching decisions which experts believe will impact on the Trump Organisations ability to enforce its rights over numerous products and services associated with the Trump brand.
The decisions could potentially open the door for any other third party to use - and monetise - the Trump name in Europe for the likes of golf equipment, and the construction, management and sale of commercial and residential properties.
One leading intellectual property expert said if a slew of other Trump trademarks currently being challenged were revoked, it would amount to a significant restriction of its registered rights in the European Union.
