Disney World and Disneyland will stay closed indefinitely amid the coronavirus pandemic
For Disney, the concern was about making sure park-goers and employees aren't exposed to virus.
"While there is still much uncertainty with respect to the impacts of COVID-19, the safety and well-being of our guests and employees remains the Walt Disney Company’s top priority," the company said in a email statement. It said the decision was"in line with direction provided by health experts and government officials."
The closures came as the number of people infected by the coronavirus continues to grow in the U.S. despite efforts at social distancing, closure of dine-in restaurants and bars and rampant warnings to take precautions like frequent hand washing. Disney said that employees at both the Anaheim, California, and Orlando, Florida, parks –"cast members" in Disney parlance – will be paid through April 18.
The Universal parks cited"current conditions" in announcing the extension of its parks until April 19.
