Universal Studios in Orlando to once again require face coverings

As a result of the increasingly prevalent omicron variant of COVID-19, Universal Orlando Resort will require face coverings at indoor locations regardless of vaccination status for all guests and team members beginning Dec. 24.

A release from Universal stated face coverings are also required “at all attractions from the moment guests enter the queue to when they exit the experience.”

Guests are expected to bring a mask with them the day they visit.

Universal said it would continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as needed.

Orlando’s other major theme park, Walt Disney World, has been requiring face coverings at all indoor locations since July and has not recently announced any changes to its policy.
