On The Walt Disney Company earnings call this evening, CEO Bob Chapek let investors know that the parks are still running at 35% maximum capacity, and that he expects that social distancing and face covering requirements will be place throughout 2021. He said it largely depends in the vaccination effort of the country.

We have no doubt, and when we reopen up in parks that were closed, or increase the capacity, that we'll have some level of social distancing and mask-wearing for the remainder of this year...

...And that could accelerate our expectations, and give people the confidence that they need to come back to the parks. Will there be overlap until we know that we have herd immunity? Sure there will. But do we believe we'll be in the same state of 6 foot social distance and mask wearing in 22? Absolutely not.
