Anyone have evidence to back this claim up?

It’s not clear in that article whether they are talking about Disney World in Florida, Disneyland and downtown Disney in California, or the film studios, or if they believe this is across the board.
Neither Orange County in Florida or California is experiencing a surge, so that doesn’t narrow it down.
Due to the replies and that it became an off topic discussion. Thanks for your concern tho...This thread should be interesting... previous mentions of this in the other thread got deleted.
When contact tracing is used, the employer can NOT tell you the actual person you were exposed to. Its a HIPAA violation. Sounds like they are using that for a platform to blast Disney.
Yes I had seen them and another unreliable "news" source post it. I guess I'm just a optimistic believe the best in people kind of person but I can't believe Disney would be stupid enough for force their people to work with covid. What a horrible mess it would be if it were true and guests then were able to track their catching the covid back to their trip.this.
The article is about Downtown Disney in DL CA
and.....Daily Beast...soooo meh.
Almost all retail in DtD is third party owned. Only one I can think of that is Disney owner is WoD actually.Yeah saw the exact same article on the Daily Mail yesterday. It was painful to read they kept referring to DL as if the parks were open, saying thousands of people per day were entering that “park” not knowing that employees could be positive. Then talking about WDW as if it were only open for the NBA bubble. It was horribly written by someone who has obviously never been to any Disney park, or probably never even looked them up online.
Most likely the stores in DL downtown area are third party retailers, and they may have had 1 or 2 instances of a positive test. Yet the media (and more importantly the British tabloid media) picked up the story not knowing what they’re talking about.
This simply isn't true. HIPAA restricts healthcare providers and health insurance companies from releasing information related to a person's medical records. It does not prevent private individuals, other organizations, companies, people, etc from releasing information that has been provided to them (like an employer being given the information by an employee). HIPAA has been used as an excuse by companies such as Disney to prevent the public from finding out the nature and extent of COVID outbreaks amongst its employees, but it's just an excuse.When contact tracing is used, the employer can NOT tell you the actual person you were exposed to.

I won't argue with you but I am a medical professional that is well versed in HIPAA. I stand by my statement above.This simply isn't true.

I am an attorney who is well versed in these matters. HIPAA applies to you as a medical professional. It does not apply to employers.I won't argue with you but I am a medical professional that is well versed in HIPAA. I stand by my statement above.
