The petition notes that since theme parks aren't essential businesses, it is unfair for workers to risk their lives by returning to work.
More than 7,000 people have signed a petition calling on Disney executives and Florida officials to reevaluate their plan to reopen Disney World in July amid a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the state.
Florida's previous record with 4,049 COVID-19 cases was set on Saturday. More than 3,200 people have died from the disease in the state. The increase is thought to be linked to more testing as well as the relaxing of social distancing measures and reopening of businesses. If reopening is delayed, it's unclear whether workers would continue to seek unemployment benefits while the parks remain closed. A request for comment from the petition organizer was not returned.
