Following Orange County’s announcement that the county has reached 50% COVID-19 vaccination compliance (at least one shot) of everyone 16 and older, Universal Orlando has announced that they will no longer be requiring masks in outdoor areas. Here’s the official statement via the Universal Orlando website:
“Face coverings are not mandatory outdoors. Guests are required to wear face coverings while at indoor locations, indoor hotel public areas and at all attractions when visiting Universal Orlando Resort, including those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine. Face coverings are available for purchase online, as well as at select merchandise locations in City Walk and the theme parks. Children under the age of three are not required to wear face coverings during their visit.”
As far as Volcano Bay goes, this is what the official Universal Orlando site reads:
“Since Volcano Bay is an outdoor experience, face coverings are not mandatory. As a reminder, for the safety or our guests, face coverings are not permitted on slides and in pools.”
Note: social distancing guidelines still apply in all cases
