Disney Springs is an outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment complex at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando.

The company said next week, many of its third-party operating participants will open at Disney Springs. On May 27, three stores and venues owned and operated by Disney – World of Disney, D-Luxe Burger and the Marketplace Co-Op – will reopen.

The company said that it will implement new health & safety measures and operational changes such as cashless payment options, a requirement to wear appropriate face covering, temperature screenings, social distancing measures, increased cleaning and disinfection procedures.

Stock Alert: Agilent Technologies Rises On Quarterly Results

The company’s China business has recovered faster than expected and it expects the China growth recovery to continue throughout the year, as lab operations and investment continue to resume.

“Agilent is supporting several aspects of COVID-19 research and testing along with therapeutic and vaccine development. In Q2, this resulted in a one-point tailwind of growth, primarily in providing the instrumentation. There is potential that this will become a more meaningful tailwind in future quarters,” commented Mike McMullen, President, and Chief Executive Officer while talking to analysts during the conference call.
