Tokyo/Hong Kong (CNN Business) Disney (DIS) is closing down its theme parks in Japan as the novel coronavirus outbreak in that country escalates.
Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea will shut down on Saturday and stay closed through March 15, the parks' operator Oriental Land announced on Friday.
The closure comes in the wake of a request by Japan's government to cancel or postpone big gatherings and events over the next few weeks to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Worldwide, there are at least 2,800 deaths , mostly in mainland China, and more than 83,000 global cases, with infections on every continent except Antarctica.
The Tokyo resort said it will refund guests for admission fees and hotel bookings.
