[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] A man who camped at the closed Disney World in the United States due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was arrested by the police.


On the 3rd (local time), CNN reported that Richard McGuire, who was camping at 'Disney World Discovery Island' in Orlando, Florida, was arrested by the police on the 30th of last month.


During the police investigation, McGuire stated, "I thought it was a tropical paradise," and said he did not hear the search noises because he was sleeping inside the building.


He also said he was unaware of the 'No Entry' signs inside the island.


McGuire was charged with trespassing on private property.



Meanwhile, Disney temporarily suspended operations of Disney World and Disneyland from the 13th of last month to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As a result, about 43,000 employees are on unpaid leave. However, Disney continues to provide these employees with health insurance benefits.
