The Universal Studios Orlando theme park is set to re-open to the public in just a couple of weeks!
It was just announced that the park will open to employees on Monday, June 1st and the general public on Friday, June 5th, THR reports.
The park has been closed since mid-March when theme parks across the country all shut their doors.
Parts of the CityWalk area of the resort opened up earlier this month on May 14th, and now more parts of the resort will be open.
“The health and safety of our guests and team members remains our top priority and we are taking specific measures that include screening our guests and team members, social distancing and requiring everyone to wear a face covering,” the Universal Orlando website reads. We will also be limiting capacity at venues and increasing our already-aggressive cleaning and disinfection procedures.”

JK Rowling is making a big donation to those being affected by the pandemic.
The Harry Potter author announced a £1 million donation, split between two different organizations.
JK felt uncomfortable celebrating the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, which took place in the final Harry Potter movie, Deathly Hallows Part II.
“Today’s the 22nd anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, but I’m going to be honest and say that it feels inappropriate to talk about fictional deaths today. Too many people are losing loved ones in the real world,” she wrote on Twitter.
“So on this anniversary of a great wizarding victory, I’m thinking of the people who’re out there doing their jobs to protect us and our way of life. I have 3 key workers in my immediate family, and like all such relatives, I’m torn between pride and anxiety,” JK added.
“As ever in a crisis of this sort, the poorest and most vulnerable are hit hardest, so in honour of the Battle of Hogwarts, I’ll be making a donation of £1m, half of which will go to https://crisis.org.uk, who’re helping the homeless during the pandemic,” she continued. “and half of which will go to https://refuge.org.uk, because we know that domestic abuse has, sadly, increased hugely during the lockdown.”
Billie Eilish is using her quarantine time a little differently than other celebs.
The 18-year-old recently opened up about not wanting to do certain things like many other people are doing.
“I feel like everybody on the internet has been talking about like, they’ve been on FaceTime all day long with their friends,” she said on the Telekom Electronic Beats podcast, via MTV. “I kind of have this feeling of like, I love my friends, I can’t wait to see them, I do miss them a lot, but at the same time I’m like, I don’t know, I’m good. I haven’t had this time off since I was like 12, so yeah, it’s crazy.”
Billie will, however, be taking part in the Global Citizen One World at Home special this weekend. Find out more HERE!

“This is a difficult post for me to post, but I felt I had to,” Liz captioned the photo below from Nashville, Tenn. “Today I tested positive for COVID-19, Corona Virus.”
“I want to start off by saying this is hard because truly I’m embarrassed,” she continued. “Everyone keeps telling me that it’s fine and it’s a global pandemic and not to be embarrassed, but I am the first person in my friends and family/close/extended circle even to be tested – let alone test positive.”
