According to social media posts reportedly made by former employees, an employee at T-Rex tested positive for COVID-19. The social media post says that the employee that tested positive went to work for an entire week after knowing about the positive test, and that managers attempted to keep the news quiet. Eventually, managers at the location told other employees about the positive test after being asked about it multiple times.
As of publish time, T-Rex remains open at Disney Springs and is accepting reservations.
When asked about the social media report, a Company spokesperson told BlogMickey.com the following:
Due to privacy regulations, we are unable to disclose health conditions of any employee. However, we are here to assure the public that in the event any situation should occur, we will follow all CDC guidelines, and take all required precautions to ensure the safety of both our staff and guests.
As always, keep checking back with us here at BlogMickey.com for the latest Disney Parks news and photos. We’ll continue to bring you news and photos, where possible, through the Disney Parks closure due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and will resume our normal coverage once the parks reopen to guests on July 11th!
That is stunning!! So terribly irresponsible on the part of both the employee, and more so, the managers. They should all be fired for acting so badly.
Believing they were taking safety steps, we had dinner there. My father has terminal cancer, we just buried my mom. Now I can’t take care of him or visit him until I am cleared. I am very upset at this.
We were at T-Rex Disney Springs on Saturday, June 13th to eat a late lunch. A few days later we heard the report about employees and I contacted the restaurant and was handed off to what I believe was a manager. I told him that we had been there for a meal on June 13th and were there with our grandson and mother who were visiting from Phoenix, Arizona. I was assured that they were doing everything according to Landry and all other guidelines, and that because of confidentiality, could not give out any information about their employees. I certainly hope they have began contact tracing at this location “IF” the employee situation is a fact?
