The Tokyo DisneyLand and Tokyo DisneySea theme park complex, in the suburbs of the Japanese capital, will close for two weeks due to fears of the spread of the coronavirus, the operator announced on Friday.
"Tokyo DisneyLand and Tokyo DisneySea have decided on an exceptional closure from Saturday February 29 until March 15 inclusive," wrote Oriental Land in a statement when the Japanese government called for various measures to avoid the rallies.
The announcement comes as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called for the closure of all schools in the country from March 2 until the spring break to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Many festivities, shows and sporting events have also been postponed or postponed, including all the football matches of the Japanese federation. The government has also asked businesses to facilitate time off and telework.
Tokyo Disneyland Park welcomes some 32.5 million visitors a year.
