(KGTV) — Some California theme parks have announced temporary closures this month to fight the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Disneyland, California Adventure, and Universal Studios have all announced temporarily closing parks to combat the spread of the virus.
Disneyland and California Adventure will close on Saturday, March 14, and remain closed through the end of the month. While the parks close this weekend, Disney hotels will stay open until Monday, March 16, before closing for the remainder of March, in order to give guests time to make travel arrangements.

Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm have not announced any closures in response to the coronavirus.
Thursday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order suggesting public gatherings of 250 or more people be banned amid the virus outbreak. Initially, theme parks were exempt from the ban, but soon many followed suit.
"The reason we didn't do it is because of the complexity of their unique circumstances, but I assure you, we are moving quickly and effectively toward a resolution in those spaces," Newsom said.
