With the Chinese Government maintaining its tough anti-Coronavirus measures, the Universal Beijing Resort has been closed this week while districts in the cities of Wuhan and Guangzhou have again been locked down.

With Coronavirus cases still occurring in the world’s most populous nation, China's zero-Covid policy still sees cities, locations and attractions locked down over relatively small numbers of infections.

Announcing the closure on the Weibo social media platform, Universal Beijing Resort, which is part-owned by the US media giant Comcast, advised “we will continue to assess the impact on operations and strive to resume operations as soon as possible.

"We will continue to assess the impact on operations and strive to resume operations as soon as possible.

"At the same time, we will continue to carry out a series of work related to epidemic prevention and control, such as deep cleaning, disinfection and nucleic acid testing," it added.

No date for reopening was noted but guests were offered the opportunity for refund or reschedule tickets.

Beijing, which has some of China's strictest COVID barriers for entry, has seen infections rise after the national Golden Week holidays at the beginning of this month.

Wuhan, where the Coronavirus emerged nearly three years ago to bring sickness and disruption to the world, shuttered its Hanyang district after a spike in cases.

Guangzhou, which reported 27 new local symptomatic coronavirus cases and 46 asymptomatic cases on Tuesday, classified five more of its districts as high-risk.
