Disney Closes Its Theme Parks Worldwide Over The Coronavirus

Disney announced the closure of its Disneyland Resort in California due to the COVID-19 outbreak, following a state order banning large gatherings. This marks the third closure in Disneyland's history, with previous closures occurring after JFK's assassination and the 9/11 attacks. Disney also decided to close its parks in Florida, Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. The closures are expected to result in significant financial losses for the company, which generated $21.6 billion in revenue from its theme parks in 2019.
