Disney has been taking many precautions to prevent the spread of the disease to its guests and Cast Members, but now news has been released that a maintenance Cast Member at Disneyland Paris has reportedly contracted the virus.

The worker, according to Fox News, had “never been in contact with visitors since he works at night when the park is closed.”

The Disneyland Paris Resort parks are still open as of now, but Dr. Cyril Warmberg has released more information about the sanitation methods they will be employing at the parks.

Warmberg expands on the sanitation methods Disney has released (which you can read about here) and states, “Our onsite health teams and leaders are communicating with our cast members about illness prevention, including the health authorities’ recommendations for everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs such as:

Staying home and wearing a mask when sick (upon medical prescription)
Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available)
Following proper respiratory cough etiquette (i.e. cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or tissue, not your hands)
Avoiding close contact with people who are sick
Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
Refraining from shaking hands and hugging or kissing when meeting someone”
