The Disney Resort in Tokyo will continue to remain shut until the start of April in the wake of the worldwide coronavirus crisis, reported the Hollywood Reporter.
The magical kingdom was earlier scheduled to remain shut from February 29 to March 15 but in the light of the worsening coronavirus cases, the local operator of the kingdom, Oriental Land Co. announced that the shutdown will be extended till April.
According to Hollywood Reporter Japan confirmed 576 coronavirus cases and 12 fatalities as of on Wednesday.
