Walt Disney will close Disneyland and California amusement parks in southern California amid the coronavirus outbreak, CNN reported. 

"In an abundance of caution and in the best interest of our guests and employees, we are proceeding with the closure of our theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Paris Resort, beginning at the close of business on Sunday, March 15, through the end of the month," a Disney spokesperson said in a statement.

Disney will pay salaries to its employees at the time the facilities are closed, and will also refund guests the money paid for booking rooms.
