Hong Kong's Disneyland to Reopen on Sept. 25

Hong Kong’s Disneyland said on Tuesday it will reopen on Friday to a reduced number of visitors and limited days, with enhanced health measures after the latest wave of coronavirus infections forced it to close again in mid-July.

Hong Kong relaxed more coronavirus restrictions last week, including reopening theme parks, after the testing of nearly two million people in a program organized by the Chinese government found 42 cases.

Disneyland said all guests will be required to wear face masks, and the park will be closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays initially. Indoor live performances will also be suspended.

Disneyland, majority-owned by the city government with Walt Disney holding a minority stake, closed on July 15 for a second time this year due to the virus, after having reopened in June.

Julian McMahon, an Australia-born actor who performed in two "Fantastic Four" films and appeared in TV shows such as "Charmed,Nip/Tuck" and "Profiler," has died, his wife said in a statement.

McMahon, 56, died peacefully this week after a battle with cancer, Kelly McMahon said in a statement provided to The Associated Press by his Beverly Hills, California-based publicist.

"Julian loved life," the statement said. "He loved his family. He loved his friends He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible."

McMahon played Dr. Doom in the films "Fantastic Four" in 2005 and "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," which came out two years later.

Along with "Charmed,Nip/Tuck," and "Profiler," he also had roles in the TV shows "Home and Away,FBI: Most Wanted" and "Another World," according to IMDB.

Actress Alyssa Milano, who appeared with McMahon on "Charmed," mourned his death on social media, saying "Julian was more than my TV husband."

"Julian McMahon was magic," Milano said. "That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up — not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding."
