The company that operates Disneyland amusement parks in Tokyo said on Friday that the famous theme park will close its doors from tomorrow until March 15, in light of the outbreak of the Corona virus in Japan.

Oriental Land added that it will also shut down Disney's Disney Park as of tomorrow.

The decision comes after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called to close all schools to prevent the spread of the virus. It also urged the government to cancel or reduce the large groupings for two weeks.
