Universal Studios Orlando theme park will reopen to the public at reduced capacity on June 5 after shutting down during the coronavirus pandemic, the company said on Thursday.

Universal Studios is the first of the major theme parks in Florida to announce reopening plans.  

Walt Disney, which owns Disney World, reopened the Disney Springs shopping area in Orlando on Wednesday, but the theme park remains closed and no date has been announced to reopen it to the public.

Universal Studios made the announcement during an Orange County, Florida Economic Recovery Task Force meeting attended by county and health department officials and community leaders.
