Disneyland will close due to fears about enabling the spread of the coronavirus
Photo: Jae C Hong/AP/Shutterstock Earlier today it looked like the Disneyland amusement park in Southern California would remain open despite mass suspensions of sports leagues, concerts, festivals, and the like due to fears about enabling the spread of the coronavirus. That has since changed, and the Disney company has issued the following statement:
While there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 at Disneyland Resort, after carefully reviewing the guidelines of the Governor of California’s executive order and in the best interest of our guests and employees, we are proceeding with the closure of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, beginning the morning of March 14 through the end of the month.
The company was previously considered exempt from the mass gatherings ban due to “unique circumstances.” That is apparently no longer the case.
