On March 1, local time, the Louvre Museum in France was forced to close due to staff's fear of refusing to go to work due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic. It is not clear when it will be reopened.
The Louvre stopped receiving audiences that morning, but no official news was released. Many people who came to visit the Louvre waited for hours at the door. The official announcement of the Louvre was not released until noon. In the afternoon, it will be announced that it will be closed all day on the 1st.
At present, France's new crown pneumonia epidemic is tense, with more than 100 confirmed cases. The French Minister of Health, Villain, has announced restrictions on public gatherings, prohibiting gatherings of more than 5,000 people in closed places, and large outdoor public events will be cancelled.
