Officials with Universal said when the park does open many guests will notice enhanced health and safety procedures, much like the ones instituted last year.

Things like limited capacity, temperature checks and enhanced disinfection procedures will be standard.

Also, face coverings will be required in all restaurants and shops, but not allowed on waterslides or in pools.
