Following Disneyland's closure, Universal Studios Hollywood has announced that the park will close starting on Saturday, March 14 due to growing concern over the coronavirus.
"The health and safety of our team members and guests is always our top priority," said a spokesperson for Universal Studios Hollywood. "Out of an abundance of caution and in response to the guidance provided by the California Department of Public Health, Universal Studios Hollywood will temporarily close beginning Saturday, March 14."
The park expects to reopen on March 28 but will continue to monitor the situation and adjust their protocol appropriately.
There was no word on whether Universal Orlando would remain open, but Universal CityWalk will not close.
The news comes as California Gov. Gavin Newsom recommended that no gatherings with groups larger than 250 people take place.
Universal Studios Hollywood is the latest victim to fall the coronavirus outbreak. Movie studios are pushing back release dates for major films and Broadway just announced a 30-day closure. The NBA and NHL have also suspended their seasons, while the MLB has pushed off opening day.
